The soccer player Alexis Vega revealed in an exclusive interview with TV Azteca Deportes that he was close to signing with Espanyol de Barcelona, but an injury completely changed his destiny. Vega mentioned that he already had an arrangement to join the Spanish club, but the injury prevented him from making the leap to Europe, even though the team was determined to sign him.
"When I got injured, they called me the next day; they wanted to take me to Barcelona, where I was going to have surgery and pay the release clause with Chivas, but in the end, the owner refused. Everything was planned, but that issue prevented it," Vega explained. This situation left an important step in his professional career in suspense.
The player also emphasized that his last months at Chivas were not the best, mentioning that he was not playing regularly and that he was not enjoying his time with the team. Vega described how his experience in the Mexican team was before the opportunity to join Espanyol was lost due to his injury.
Amidst the criticisms and praises he has received throughout his career, Alexis Vega has stood out as a talented and quality player, but also controversial off the field. Despite the ups and downs, Vega surprised by revealing that he was close to making the jump to Europe with Espanyol de Barcelona, an opportunity that ultimately did not materialize due to circumstances beyond his control.
