In the summer of 2013 Jesús Corona had the opportunity to exchange CF Monterrey for FC Barcelona, but the choice fell on FC Twente. That says agent Matías Bunge of the 27-year-old Mexican.
“He turned down a proposal from Barcelona. He was with Monterrey and I told him I had spoken to Zubizarreta, who was then technical director of Barcelona. He would play for the second team in his first year, then he would move on to put the first team, “Bunge tells ABC Seville.
“Jesús said ‘no’, because he wanted to play in a first team. That is why we went to Twente. The difference between Mexico and the Netherlands was enormous and that affected him at the beginning,” says the advocate. “The coach came to me and said that if Corona did not play better, he would be returned to the promises. And that happened. There he started the new season, but he was the best player and after four duels they promoted him again . “
“That same trainer, Alfred Schreuder, then wanted to take him to Hoffenheim,” Bunge reveals. It has not yet come that far. Corona exchanged Twente in 2015 for FC Porto, where he is still active. Sevilla also tried to incorporate him last year. “The problem was that his transfer clause is high. And now we have to wait and see because of the corona crisis.”
Before the corona outbreak, the winger was also associated with Everton, Internazionale, AS Roma, Valencia, Schalke 04 and West Ham United in addition to Sevilla. His lump sum payment would be thirty million.
