A member of the attacking ranks at La Liga outfit Deportivo Alavés is inching towards an incoming move to France with RC Strasbourg.
That’s according to market insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Joaquín Panichelli as the player in question.
Panichelli, for his part, spent this past season out on loan away from Alavés.
Not yet considered ready to be a regular contributor at Mendizorroza, the Argentine made the move to Spain’s 2nd tier, with CD Mirandés.
And to say that Panichelli went on to enjoy a productive stint on the books of Mirandés would be putting it lightly…
All told, across 44 appearances in La Liga 2, the 22-year-old racked up a head-turning 29 direct goal contributions.
And such exploits, evidently, did not go unnoticed on the part of those behind the scenes at the aforementioned Strasbourg.
As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:
‘More on Joaquin Panichelli and RC Strasbourg exclusive story. Strasbourg are closing in on the deal with Alavés for €16m and player side also with five year deal.’
