LOS ANGELES – At the age of 29, on January 6, 2022, Jesús Tecatito Corona will study in detail the offers that his promoter Matías Bunge has to emigrate to another European football, or even MLS or Rayados de Monterrey himself. In the meantime, don’t ignore any mermaid’s song.
On the same Tuesday, April 13, the Mexican striker will have a new opportunity to add routes to his possible future. Porto lose to Chelsea in the Champions League (0-2) and intend to go to Stamford Bridge for a new feat, such as the elimination of Juventus in an extraordinary result.
This weekend, in the victory against Tondela, Sergio Conceição he released some of his gladiators into the game. He wants them full on Tuesday. Tecatito Corona is among them. The Mexican knows that what stole his pandemic, appearing in a strong club in Europe, post-pandemic can reward him.
The same promoter of the Mexican encourages those serenades of the supposed interested parties to sign it. As is often the case, the more exaggerated it is, the less credible it is, but it is not rejected. It is insisted that the clubs from Spain, Premier and Italy, bid for the versatile player.
In 2019, Porto made the big bet for him. He protected him with a clause of 30 million euros (which is substantially reduced next summer) and with a salary, with bonuses, which in a good year, such as 2020, allows the Crown to put up to 6 , 2 million.
Because just as her daring adventurous spirit one day cut the umbilical cord with Monterrey, so Corona is seduced by a great team in a big league. The torch to scan new horizons is still lit. Especially if you talk about Inter Milan, Sevilla, Chelsea, West Ham and Wolverhampton.
Portugal is often seen as a gestational football. It is usually a platform to better destinations. But his football and the country itself are developing a special comfort to take root in a paradise for migrants. Although this is not the case with the Mexican attacker.
Beyond an exacerbated mania to increase the error in the first leg against Chelsea in the Champions League, Tecatito Corona enjoys admiration in European places and, of course, affectionate privileges in Portugal, as their number and performance have turned him into a pampered one.
Considered the best player in the League in 2020, for his field work, sacrifice in defense and his relentless offensive football, full of joy and excitement for the stands, Tecatito has the support of his club to be sold in the next window because since December 2021, Corona could negotiate with total freedom and could leave Porto, without any benefit for the club.
Reports from Portugal indicate that Porto’s board will decide this summer whether to make a proposal to extend the Mexican player’s contract, knowing that offers will reappear and, most importantly, hope to have a good World Cup in Qatar 2022, and that will allow him to fatten the broth of the negotiations.
His coach, Sergio Conceição, is an admirer of Tecatito. Like the Mexican, he liked bold football, dribbling, generous, exploitative, because, like him, he had the conditions of an extreme right. For this reason, at one point, he became his strongest prosecutor, but also his most sincere ally.
In 2019, the Portuguese coach confronted Tecatito and warned him that he no longer wanted to have him. It wasn’t in their plans. Far from resigning and complaining, Corona reinvented herself. Comfortable in the right attack tasks, he understood that he had to renew himself or die on the bench or be exposed to an unwanted transfer.
The Crown began to learn, master, and polish the arts of good defense, to add to the virtues of a discouraging, defiant, bold attacker. The experiment was a success. He became an essential of Porto and began to blink on the radars of other teams.
With the termination clause he had and the salary he received, for strong clubs, it did not seem unreasonable to become the Mexican striker. Everything indicates that in the summer of 2020 his transfer will be completed. But the pandemic has decapitalized clubs globally. Suddenly, a profitable and useful player became a luxury item.
The economic contraction in football, a rampant recession in the finances of the teams, has come to stop any operation. In terms of football, Jesús Manuel Corona was still a victim of the pandemic.
According to its representative, Matías Bunge, there are still clubs interested in Corona, which are pursuing their performances in the League and in the Champions League, in the hope that it will soon cease to become a whim, to become a reality.
Despite MLS insistence, Tecatito prefers to see it as a last resort and may even, at some point, choose to return to Mexico and end his career at the club that was his incubator, Rayados, as he Azteca TV revealed.
“I have it in mind (to go back to Rayados), why am I lying? I have it in mind because where I came from, I would like to go back to a club and fight for championships, which makes me happier. .. therefore, I went out and took the love to the club, I met there many important people in my life, such as my wife. For this reason, of course, I would like to return to play in Monterrey “, said Jesús Manuel Corona.
For now, Tecatito is in no hurry. His performances in the League and in the Champions League, eliminating Juventus, puts him on the European side, but for his sporting, emotional and family peace, he knows that there are two first-class tickets in the drawer, one for MLS and the other, especially seductive for Monterrey.
That’s why Tuesday’s game against Chelsea is especially important. Corona can give another “taste” of its conditions to German technical director Thomas Tuchel, who confirmed his interest in signing him, especially during the summer, when, according to various versions, the termination clause could fall from 30 million euros. to EUR 20 million, in accordance with a special agreement between the club and the player.
