“Thanks to Wolfsberger AC, who believed in me and gave me the opportunity to develop here,” Shon Weissman wrote on Twitter on Sunday, saying goodbye to the Bundesliga club fans. Now he would take the next step in his career.
After 37 goals in 40 competitive matches for Wolfsberger AC, Weissman will play in the future in the Upper House of Spain. Real Valladolid announced this Monday afternoon that it had reached an agreement with the WAC to transfer the 24-year-old Israeli. Weissman should reportedly switch for a rumored € 6 million transfer fee.
Rain of millions
For the WAC it is the expected rain of millions. At Carinthia’s third championship, Weissman would have been under contract until the end of June 2021. He only moved to Lavanttal a year ago from Maccabi Haifa on a free transfer. The attacker attracted attention not only in the Bundesliga with 30 goals, but also in the group stage of the Europa League (two goals). It had been clear for a long time that he would leave the club. Thanks to Weissman’s goals in the fall, WAC will play in the Europa League again.
The goalkeeper had already said goodbye to the WAC fans via Twitter the day before. “I am taking the next step in my career,” said the Israeli international, who also thanked the entire club for “always believing in me.” In Valladolid he already completed the medical check-up on Sunday.
Ronaldo is the boss
On the 13th of last La Liga season, Weissman received a contract until the summer of 2024. The majority owner of the “White Violets” is former Brazilian world soccer player Ronaldo. Weissman will start training next week, having previously worked for the Israel national team in the Nations League, Valladolid announced.
WAC had already loaned Serbian striker Dejan Joveljic, 21, from Eintracht Frankfurt.
