18.08.2010 - The great news was welcome as Nino has become more than just a goalscorer for the team, he has become the symbol of the blanquiazules. Rumours had circulated all summer about the transfer of Nino to new rich kids Malaga or perhaps Zaragoza but the price tag of €6 million set by Tenerife scuppered any deal. In his last two seasons he has bagged 43 goals and 14 of those were scored in last season’s frustrating campaign in La Liga. The local media titled the deal as the, “Signing of the Summer" and "Half a promotion comes from Nino`s feet". At a press conference held last week in the Heliodoro Stadium, Nino was presented by CD Tenerife President Miguel Concepción and director of football Santiago Llorente. Concepción stated that Nino, "is a model professional and we hope he will spend the rest of his playing days at our club". The three year deal ties Nino, who has just turned 30 years old, until June 2014. The pocket size striker replied to questions by reporters saying that, "I am very happy here and my family have integrated well into Island life," he added, "the fans have shown me a tremendous amount of affection and that is one of the main reasons why I am staying even though I have received some succulent offers with more money promised by Primera League Clubs this summer".
