The prestigious Spanish magazine "Marca" has dedicated a long article to the Red and Black striker, Rei Manaj. His club is valued at 15 million euros", writes the Spanish media.
After the entire career of the footballer is described in detail, the article emphasizes that Manaj, still in time to become "king", is at his best moment. The third best scorer in Turkey, after Icardi and Dzeko, according to "Marca", is a threat to Spain, Italy and Croatia in Europe. Here is the full article:
Until today, Rey Manaj never managed to wear the king's crown, just like his name (Rey). It was completely out of focus and had lost its luster.
But sometimes a moment is enough to bounce back. This is shown by the 22 goals he has scored this season with Sivaspor in Turkey and makes him one of the biggest dangers for Silvinho's Albania on the eve of the European Championship. The rival of Italy, Croatia and... Spain. The truth is that Albania has not had any great tradition in important football tournaments. This will be the second time he participates in a European, after he could not do better than the group stage in 2016. Manaj was only 19 years old at that time, but there was a lot of talk about him ...
In search of death- Since he was a child, he realized that in order to triumph in the world of football, he had to look somewhere outside the territory of Albania and moved with his family to Italy. A country that has produced strong strikers in the history of football. After a short period in the inferior categories of Piacenza, Rei Manaj landed at Cremona in 2012 and 4 years later he was transferred to Inter for 500 thousand euros. After winning the champion title with the youth, Manaj was considered one of the stars of the black academy. Despite making his debut and playing 6 matches with the first team, he never received maximum attention and began to be loaned to Pescara, Pisa or Granada and finally to Albasete, who bought his card for 2 million euros. After scoring 10 goals in 41 games, Barcelona paid another €2 million in 2020 to take him to the B team, where he scored 16 goals in 31 games under Garcia Pimientas. " I hope I can bring a lot of things with my experience and my game. I am aware that the work of a striker is measured by goals , "he said in the presentation as a Catalan.
Very illusion- At that time he was 23 years old and because of the economic crisis that Barcelona was going through, coach Kuman was forced to take him with him to the first team in the preparatory phase. In the first friendly match, he scored 3 goals against Nastik and was considered as one of the players who could contribute to that season. Gerard Pique reduced his salary so that the striker of the Albanian National Team could join La Liga. A move that actually turned out to be inappropriate. In the last days of the market, Rei Manaj left for Serie A to play with Specia, for 1 million euros. " Kuman had faith in me, but I decided to leave because I needed to play for more minutes ," Manaj said after leaving.
Hell- It was a logical move for Rei Manaj, who would moreover be placed under the orders of a coach like Tiago Mota. But Manaj lost his luster. From that moment, the whole world lost sight of him and the striker who made the Catalan fans fall in love was suffering. After only one year in Italy, Manaj signed with Watford, but a few months later broke the contract, due to a serious injury. He played only 7 games and was left without a team. There was no continuity and his career at the age of 26 was on the verge of collapse. But then a phone call came from Turkey and changed his life. Sivaspor appeared as a spring in the desert. No less and no more, but a club in the main league of Turkish football. In fact, any other team would give Manaj a job. " I want to thank this club for the opportunity it gave me. Now I want to talk on the field of play ", said Manaj in the presentation. He started as an unknown to become the star of the team. He closed the best season of his career with 22 goals in 36 games, 18 of them in the championship, which ranked him third in the list of scorers, behind Icardi and Dzeko. The latter have played for 2 giant teams, such as Gallatasaraji and Fenerbahçe, while Rei with a small team. Became the player to challenge everyone, ranking second in shots on goal with 114. Every time he gets close to the box he's terrifying and looks like he's looking for revenge on every shot.
Leader - His performance did not go unnoticed by coach Silvinjo, who included him in the National Team's list, where he scored 6 goals in 31 matches. From a forgotten can turn into a threat for Spain. He is not the only one in Albania, as he will have the support of players such as Kumbulla, Gjimshiti, Hysaj, Asllani, Bajrami and Broja. It is never too late to become a "king" (Rei).
