Entonces, Lobato, aprovechando las posibilidades de la mencionada cláusula de desenganche, válida hasta el 31 de agosto, quiso probar suerte en Inglaterra, pese a estar en la agenda del Espanyol, el Levante, el Elche y el Rayo. A mediados de agosto estuvo a punto de fichar por el Reading FC, de la Segunda División inglesa, pero tampoco superó el reconocimiento médico y tuvo que regresar a Barcelona, donde se encuentra recuperándose de su lesión, a la espera de recibir el alta médica y de concretar un destino profesional.
Which Translates to:-
So Lobato, exploiting the possibilities of that release clause, valid until August 31, wanted to try his luck in England, despite being on the agenda of Espanyol, Levante, and Rayo Elche. In mid-August was about to sign for Reading FC, English Second Division, but also exceeded the medical examination and had to return to Barcelona, where he is recovering from his injury, waiting to receive medical and to realize a professional destination.
So this might have some mileage, although it goes on more about issues over a "Private Contract" he had agreed with Real Zaragosa in February to sign a five year deal with them in the summer, but then he got his injury before that deal could be done.
