Ibagaza: Güiza Must Grasp Opportunity

Güiza joined Mallorca from Getafe in the summer and has enjoyed an excellent campaign in front of goal, scoring twenty-six times for the Islanders as they go into their final game of the season with their eye on a top six finish.

The twenty-seven year old striker has all but wrapped up the Pichichi crown for the domestic top-scorer and his performances have attracted the interest of a number of clubs, including Barcelona and Valencia.

Ibagaza is realistic when assessing Güiza's future and believes that the striker should take the opportunity to further his career with a move to a bigger team in the summer transfer window.

“The truth is that we are proud to have the Pichichi in our side. You would have to think that Sunday will be his last game for us as it will be difficult to keep hold of him," he affirmed.

"It is not easy to score twenty-six goals. What would he do if next season he stays with us and scores just four, for instance. If he has the opportunity to leave them he must take advantage of it. I do not believe that he will stay, but it would be good for him to get at least one more goal in front of the fans on Sunday."

Güiza's likely departure will have no effect on Ibagaza's own commitment to the club, with the thirty-one year old indicating that he would be perfectly happy to end his career in the Balearics.

“I enjoy it here and would like to finish my career at the club. There was talk about me leaving to play for another team, but I am relaxed here and so are my family. I am very proud to where the Mallorca shirt and have informed the president of my intentions," he concluded.
