Alaves sporting director, Sergio Fernandez, has declared that allowing Mubarak Wakaso to depart was the "best decision" for the club.
The combative midfielder had been on the books of the Basque outfit since 2017, appearing 70 times in all competitions, scoring once and providing three assists.
His contract was however due to expire this summer and with no intent to renew, he joined Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning on a three-year deal.

"We understood that it was the ideal moment before an operation that was presented to us," Fernandez said.
