The duration is unchanged (until 2020) and the player’s salary and buy-out clause are increased

SD Eibar and the Argentinian player Gonzalo Escalante have reached agreement for the improvement of the contract that links both parties until June 2020.

The duration of the contract is similar to the one signed in January of this year but both the amount received by the player and the amount of the buy-out clause have increased.

The Club decided to offer this improvement to Escalalnte having become aware of the interest of other clubs that were prepared to pay the amount of the previous buy-out clause in order to secure the services of the Argentine midfielder.

Gonzalo Escalante (Bella Vista, Argentina–1993) came to Eibar during the last pre-season, on-loan from the Italian side Catania and the Club exercised the player’s purchase clause in January of this year.

In his first season in La Liga, Escalante has played 34 games, starting in 32 of them and has scored three goals.
