Pau Lopez’s 2023-2024 season may have been his last loon. After finishing 8th in the championship and semi-finalist in the Europa League, the Spanish goalkeeper would be on the departure and several Italian clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation closely. A departure, however, which risks taking time temps and which will have to go through long negotiations.
A salary that causes problems?
If some clubs like Como or Monza have shown recent interest, the player’s salary remains to be seen. According to the teamthe departure of the Spanish goalkeeper would not be not easy because of his salary “very comfortable for his position”. With 320 000 euros per month, the goalkeeper will surely have to make financial efforts to leave OM.
