The most important unresolved issue regarding the future of Legia Warszawa is whether its biggest star will extend the contract. Josué is still hesitating, but according to the sporting director of the Armed Forces, the Portuguese’s chances of staying in Lazienkowska are growing.
Although the 2022/23 season is not over yet, key questions regarding the future of individual teams are already being addressed. Not otherwise in the Warsaw Legia, which, in addition to carrying out two free transfers (Mark Gual from Jagiellonia Bialystok and Patrick Kuhn from Rakov Czestochowa), is trying to solve an urgent problem, namely the issue of further cooperation with Josue.
Virtues and doubts about Josue of Legia Warsaw
At present, it is difficult to imagine the team of Kosta Runyaich without a hot Portuguese, because he is the central and absolutely most important character in it. He was the only one who did not disappoint and in the season when Legia got confused in the fight for relegation, he saved the team. In 30 matches, he scored 2 goals and made as many as 15 assists, almost single-handedly led the team. He is also doing well in this competition, scoring 11 times in 29 games and adding 9 assists. In addition, he led his team to Polish Cup triumph.
Therefore, no one has any doubts, including in the military headquarters and in the sports department, that Josué is an extremely important figure in the team. On the other hand, there are doubts - how long can a quarterback maintain such a high form? She is 33 years old, and Ekstraklasa has already seen sudden descents of excellent shape in players of a similar age - for example, once with Konstantin Vasiliev.
Sporting director of Legia Warsaw: Josue’s chances to stay increase
The second controversial issue is, of course, the financial needs of the Portuguese, which are huge. True, Legia has been working in a way for some time now that prefers to give the player a higher salary, instead of paying a lot for the transfer itself, although in the case of the midfielder, the salary chimney would still be created.
According to legia.net, Josue’s chances of staying in Warsaw have recently increased. This was told by the sports director of the capital’s club Jacek Zielinski. “Two months ago it was unlikely that José would stay at the club for long, now the situation looks better, much better. The Portuguese brought his wife and daughter to Warsaw, who liked the city. The player himself is also happy in Poland and at least part of him wants to extend the contract, he said.
He also added that key negotiations have not yet begun, but will be in the near future. He showed that both sides showed a willingness to make concessions, as well as a willingness to continue negotiations.
