Joaquín Panichelli is no longer a player of Deportivo Alavés. The young Argentine striker has been transferred to RC Strasbourg for 16.5 million euros, a deal that stands as the second-highest sale in the history of the Vitorian club. The agreement, confirmed by both parties this Sunday, includes add-ons that could raise the final amount to 20 million. The forward has signed a contract with the French club until June 2030.

Panichelli landed in Vitoria in January 2023 from River Plate, and despite facing challenges—such as a serious knee injury—he managed to earn a spot through perseverance and good performances. Following a successful loan spell at Mirandés, where he scored 21 goals and provided 8 assists in the Second Division, his development caught the attention of foreign clubs. Ultimately, Strasbourg made a strong move for him.

River Plate has received money from the transfer.

River Plate, on the other hand, will receive around 3 million euros by retaining 20% of the player's rights at the time of his transfer to the babazorro team. In just two and a half years, Panichelli has gone from playing in the reserves to becoming a crucial part of the first-team squad, and now he takes another step forward in his professional career.

In sporting terms, Alavés loses its main attacking reference, leaving Eduardo Coudet with Toni Martínez and Asier Villalibre as the only available forwards at present. This situation could lead to market movements, especially after Mariano's excellent performance, scoring a brace in the friendly against Castellón and making a case to stay.

The club has publicly thanked the effort, dedication, and commitment of the Argentine during his time in Vitoria, emphasizing his key role in the promotion two seasons ago. Now, Panichelli will aim to shine in Ligue 1.
