Gonalons presented by Granada: “I’m happy to be here. This club is growing and I hope to contribute”.


Maxime Gonalons was unveiled today by La Liga side Granada as their newest reinforcement. The Frenchman officially left Roma in the final hours of the transfer window yesterday to complete a move to the Spanish side on loan with an obligation to buy for €4 million should certain clauses be met. Here is what the former Lyon man had to say this afternoon when presented to the media:

“I am very happy to be here and I hope to contribute a lot. I accepted the offer of Granada because this club was very interested in me and I like the spirit of family here. I want to continue progressing here after having been in important clubs where I have gained a lot of experience. This club is growing in the short and long term, which is important to me. A comparison to Sevilla? Sevilla is a great club, but now that I’m here at Granada, I will do my best. It’s hard to compare the two, but I will give everything. This is a new experience for me – the negotiation was finalised late last night. Once that happened, I was able to relax a bit”.
