Teerasil to join high-flying Spanish
Thai Premier League club Muang Thong United have allowed national striker Teerasil Dangda to join high-flying Spanish side Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan deal.
Teersail announced his move to Spain after featuring in Muang Thong’s 3-3 draw with Chainat FC in their final league match at the weekend. Muang Thong relinquished the league title to Buriram United, who completed the season in top spot with 78 points from 32 games.
Muang Thong director Ronnarit Suewaja said the club decided to loan Teerasil out to the Madrid-based club, currently sitting in second spot in the La Liga with 33 points from 12 matches, as part of the swap deal it had with the Spanish side, one of its partner clubs.
“Since Teerasil had a trial in Madrid last year, Atletico have shown their interest in him. However, we lacked a good striker at the time so we decided to keep him with us.
“The situation at our club since then has improved. Atletico agreed to send us “B” or “B+”- rated forward in exchange for Teerasil. But, the question of whether they would use him or not, is up to the Atletico management,” said Ronnarit.
