Well, it doesn’t look like Joao Plata is going anywhere this year.
Next year, though? That’s anyone’s guess. Plata’s agent, for his part, talked to Ecuadorian outlet Afición Central about the player and where he could be playing in 2018.
If you had Mexico, you were right. And it wasn’t really a stretch, given the other agent-created rumors that have floated around. This report says that Plata could go to Mexico in 2018 simply because there’s interest from Mexican clubs.
Just two months ago, this would have seemed pretty accurate and probably expected. Plata hadn’t been performing, and he had established a poor rapport with RSL coach Mike Petke.
