Nany Dimata has snapped his transfer. The 23-year-old striker absolutely wanted more playing minutes and will look for them in the Spanish second division. Espanyol and Anderlecht got out over a rental deal with purchase option.

“Nany needs competition rhythm to physically grow back to his top level. Because RSCA could not offer those sporting guarantees, Nany was asking to find a solution”, it sounds.

But in the meantime, a candidate seems to have turned up. According to Spanish media, the Spanish second division Espanyol is negotiating with Dimata. It remains to be seen whether it will actually come to a transfer. Last time, a transfer went wrong because he failed his medical tests …
