“Barça wanted me, but it was too late. Real is my ultimate goal.”
‘Prospect’ Oscar Glech revealed the behind-the-scenes story of his transfer.
It is a promising resource for an 18-year-old. Born in Israel, he played for ‘prestigious’ Maccabi Tel Aviv before entering Salzburg during the transfer window last winter. He is 170cm tall and his physicality is not great, but his nimble movements and soccer sense are expected to grow into a bigger player. He showed good form in Tel Aviv, recording 4 goals and 8 assists in 17 league games, and after joining Salzburg, he is steadily receiving opportunities and strengthening his position. He hasn’t recorded an offensive point yet, but little by little he is expanding his influence within the team. 안전놀이터
As a resource with a promising future, he has received attention from many big clubs. According to Spanish media ‘Marca’, he was also interested in Barcelona and Real Madrid before coming to Salzburg.
Barcelona also made a practical offer. Glech revealed the behind-the-scenes story of his transfer in an interview with ‘Forbes Israel’. “I was really excited to hear that Barcelona wanted me,” he said.
However, the transfer did not take place. Because Barcelona wasn’t active. “Barcelona were behind in the scouting race. They were too late and the transfer never happened,” said Glech.
Glerch’s choice was Salzburg. But he had no regrets whatsoever. He said, “Salzburg was the best choice. Choosing here, not Barcelona, is the right decision now that I think about it. It made me grow as a player.”
Salzburg is not his final goal. Glech later revealed that it was his dream to wear a Real Madrid shirt. “It will be the best moment if I go to Real Madrid. I have been a Real Madrid fan since I started playing football. It is my final dream to wear a Real jersey and play for the Santiago Bernabéu,” he expressed his aspirations.
