Goncalo Paciencia before leaving Frankfurt? Granda attracts Eintracht strikers
Rumors of Granada CF’s interest in Goncalo Paciencia persist. The Eintracht striker was linked with the Spanish first division club two weeks ago. The tables-13. from La Liga will continue to try to make the Portuguese binding by the end of January.
Like the Granada-based newspaper ideal reported that Granada CF is still interested in the 27-year-old SGE attacker. About two weeks ago, the Spanish U21 international Abel Ruiz was also traded as a potential candidate for the Andalusians.
Apparently Pacienca is the preferred candidate for those responsible for Granada. After his return from Schalke on loan last summer, the Portuguese initially had a difficult time in Frankfurt, but fought for more and more playing time in the course of the first half of the season, even if he mostly only played as a joker. After all, four goals and one assist Paciencia in 13 appearances (only one starting eleven).
In the striker hierarchy, however, he is well behind the summer newcomer Raffael Borré, who is also getting along better and better in Frankfurt. The Portuguese should therefore only continue to play the joker role at Eintracht.
It is quite possible that the SGE would agree to a transfer should a suitable offer come in. With Sam Lammers there is another center forward in the squad, even if the Atalanta loan was recently heavily criticized by its own fans.
Unlike in Frankfurt, coach Robert Moreno usually relies on a dual leadership in Granada. But he only has three real strikers in the squad: the 24-year-old Luis Suarez, as well as the two veterans Jorge Molina (35) and Carlos Bacca (39). The latter only comes into play as a substitute and has not yet scored any goals in the current La Liga season.
Paciencia would therefore wave a bigger role in Granda. Especially since Suarez (four goals) and Molina (seven goals) are not exactly scorers on duty.
