Girona’s Stuani can go for 1 euro – Saudi Arabia clubs offered too little salary

Record goalscorer

Cristhian Stuani is FC Girona’s record goalscorer – the Uruguayan scored 118 times in 216 games for the “club of my life”, as he himself says. Nevertheless, he was also about to move to Saudi Arabia in the summer. According to the “ASThe Abha Club and another club wanted to bring in the veteran, but his financial expectations were not met. Accordingly, he would have agreed to an annual salary of 4 million euros, the transfer fee would have been one euro. The exit clause in the contract, which is dated until 2026, should be this high, or rather low.

Stuani has played a big part in ensuring that the club is on the verge of establishing itself in LaLiga. As a result, he should be able to decide for himself about his future – hence the unusual one-euro clause. In 2017, the then promoted team signed Stuani from Middlesbrough for 2.5 million euros and made a big bargain: 40 goals in two seasons followed, rumors about FC Barcelona and relegation. Stuani stayed, went to the second division and shot his club back up after three years.

Girona got off to a furious start this season with Stuani: ten points from four games and two goals from his captain. “I spent most of my career here, but in football everyone knows that a lot of things happen. Everyone knows that Girona is the club of my life”. The next offers for the striker, who would be 39 years old if he fulfills his contract in Girona, could arrive in January.
