Morales’ return to the Levante takes shape
José Morales’ return to Levante is all but sealed due to a lack of approval from La Liga’s Economic Control Committee. The former Granota captain has expressed his desire to return to Jose Danville, the club’s general director, once his contract with Villarreal expires on June 30.
As the Copa Valencia progresses, Danvila and Morales are keen to join forces next season. Moreover, since the arrival of the Valencian businessman, the return of Morales has always been a priority goal, it was tried in the last summer market and even in the winter market, although in both cases it was not feasible due to the financial consequences that the La Liga club had.

Regardless, both sides are confident they can formalize their return next season and have even agreed terms for the possible return of the striker, who turns 37 next July.

Morales is one of the iconic players in the history of the Granota club, with whom he appeared in 311 games (being the second player with the most official matches played as a Granota after Felix Ettienne), scoring 69 goals and providing 43 assists. . With Morales leaving in the summer of 2022 after relegation ends, Morales’ return will be the cornerstone of the project for next season.
Along with him, another historic player is doing everything possible to return to the team of his life. This is Vicente Iborra, who will play in the Conference League final against Fiorentina this month for Jose Luis Mendilibar’s Olympiacos. The Moncada midfielder, who had to leave the club last summer due to obstacles from La Liga’s economic controls after facing relegation to the first division in the play-off final, has signed a one-season contract with the Greek side until June 2024. desire to try to return home again in a year.
