Cardiff City transfer news: Javi Guerra prepared to take pay cut to make Malaga move permanent
Sat 30th May 2015
BY CHRIS WATHAN
Javi Guerra will tell Cardiff City he wants to stay in Spain – and could be ready to take a pay-cut to force a move away from the Bluebirds.
Striker Guerra arrived in a blaze of hope last summer after Vincent Tan persuaded him to switch Spain for South Wales following the end of his contract at Real Vallodolid.
But despite impressing with 17 goals in his homeland last season, he was frozen out at Cardiff City Stadium and managed just 41 minutes of Championship football before being shipped out on loan to Malaga in January.
With two years remaining on his Bluebirds contract, the 33-year-old’s hopes of making his exit permanent had thought to have been ruled out over finances.
But with Guerra making it clear he does not want to return to the Welsh capital, he has told reporters in Spain he would be prepared to push through a move and hinted at taking a drop in wages.
Javi Guerra proves he knows how to find the net... Even if it was a tap in
“My priority is to stay here, but it depends on Cardiff,” he said. “I have two more years of contract in Cardiff and in the summer ahead things will be discussed.
“I have to go back there and in principle until I do there is no decision. But my priority is that I feel good here, this is my home and I am playing in a top division. It depends on Cardiff and I will have to wait to see what they say and if they want me that is what I will have to do, but my priority is to stay here. “
“There’s time to sort things out. There’s all summer ahead of us. I have no problem making sacrifices,” he added. “It’s a question of values. A player always wants to be playing at the highest level.”

This signing has proved to be very strange indeed and will be more departures.

U have to respect that he would take pay cut to play every week when many players around the world are happy to sit on bench for the extra few grand instead.
Makes you wonder why he can't play for us surely a talented player

exactly, I don't believe the lies peddled about him from the club when there is no evidence of this player being problamatic in his career, except suppossedly with us.
I think it's shameful lies that he didn't try hard in training

I'm gutted it didn't work out for him. But he should be giving out the right message by saying that he is prepared to knuckle down and fight for a place.
