life after watford It hasn't been easy for Yasser Asprilla, and it's not getting any better in the short term.
girona newspaper Today report on the 22-year-old and the latest blow for him during his loan spell at Galatasaray.
Yasser Asprilla is currently on loan with Galatasaray after leaving Verona at the end of the January transfer window.
Verona's problems for Yasser Asprilla
He has struggled at the Spanish club since joining from Watford in a €18m deal in August 2024. He previously scored seven goals and ten assists in 86 games for the Hornets after arriving for €3m in 2022.
But it didn't work in SpainWhere he has provided four goals and two assists in 50 games. Galatasaray's situation has worsened, with no goals or assists in nine games so far.
Verona were hoping that Galatasaray would sign him permanently in the summer. The loan deal includes an option to buy for €23m. Now, however, Galatasaray are assuming he will return to Spain at the end of the campaign.
This is made even stronger by the fact that Yasser Asprilla is injured at the moment. His knee is swollen and he has already missed his last game. It is not clear when he will return from the problem.
It is the latest blow for the player who has failed to make the cut in Turkey. After their difficult run in Verona, this is another low. His career after Watford did not go as he, or perhaps anyone, expected.
big summer transfer window
It was expected that the midfielder would continue to progress at Verona after establishing himself at Vicarage Road, but he now looks a bit stagnant. This injury won't help on that front.
Big summer is coming. Galatasaray probably doesn't want him and Verona to feel the same way. They were certainly happy to send him out in January and were also hoping for a permanent exit.
They may now need to find other suitors as they try to get their money back after spending big to get Yasser Asprilla from Watford two years ago.
