    A bit of spin from the club:

    https://www.clubsantos.mx/news/detail/comunicado-santiago-muoz

    The player has entered into a contract with registration in the Under 20 category, the validity of which still establishes one more year of contract.

    Said document establishes that, if an offer comes from abroad for its services, Club Santos will support it in every way, always prioritizing its development and sports consolidation.

    Santiago returned to training with his category derived from a purely sporting decision by the Coaching Staff, based on the lack of concentration and focus on the work that the team is currently doing, since today he is only thinking about going abroad.

    For several months, the Club made a proposal for a First Division contract to the player, to generate contractual stability and continue with its development, without having a response at the time.

    Probable move to Newcastle:

    https://www.espn.com.mx/futbol/mexi...ewcastle-united-fichaje-santos-laguna-liga-mx

    Not quite sure about the WP process since he doesn't have NT caps.Liga MX is a Band 3 league, so he gets 8 points there. He'd get about 5 for 60% of the minutes available in the Clausura (assuming they calculate that way; he only had 1 appearance in the Apertura, so that would be 32% for the full season -- that's only 2 points)

    This gentleman calculated the points (in Spanish) and got different points than I did, but still ended up with 14 points.

    Looks like the move to Newcastle is getting close:

    https://www.espn.com.mx/futbol/mexi...santiago-munoz-despedida-newcastle-inglaterra

    The procedure before the Governing Body Endorsment has not yet been authorized and may not be ready before the market closes on Tuesday at 11pm in England. However, Muñoz's hiring with Newcastle would remain on deposit with the Premier League pending the green light from the authorities.

    As referenced in the post above... from the movie Goal!:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal!_(film)

    Santiago Muñez, a Mexican illegal immigrant living in a barrio section of Los Angeles, is a skilled footballer who plays for his local team on weekends and dreams of playing professionally. The son of a gardener, Santiago lives with his father, Hernan, his grandmother, Mercedes, and his younger brother, Cesar. He works as a busboy in a Chinese restaurant while also helping with his father's gardening business for a living. Due to his poverty and the fact that he plays solely for a club made up of Hispanics from a local car wash, he feels his chances of making it as a pro are slim, until one day, Santiago is noticed by Glen Foy, a former Newcastle United player. Glen now works as a mechanic in England, but still maintains ties to his old team. Foy arranges to get Santiago a trial with Newcastle United, who have recently signed talented new player Gavin Harris.

    Needing to get to England, Santiago begins to save his money in an old shoe, but his plans are brought to a stop after his father finds the money and uses it to buy a truck which would allow Santiago and him to start their own business, believing that Santiago's dreams of playing in England are hopeless. With his dream seemingly over, Santiago returns to work for his father, until his grandmother gives him an envelope containing money and a plane ticket to London, telling him she sold her jewellery to pay for the ticket. Santiago reluctantly accepts and soon departs for England before his father is able to find out, arriving in London the next day.

    You'll hear lots of jokes about this coincidence in the coming season.

    (Note: he mostly speaks in English, though he resorts to Spanish to explain his NT future. I was a little worried about his English after hearing him on the ESPN clip above).

    I'll note his Spanish response seemed a bit of a CYA since his previous answers may have irritated some in the FMF power structure.
