While Atlético Mineiro threatens to make a strong offer for Nacho Fernandez, River accelerates to ensure a plan P in case the creative emigrates to Brazil: the leadership headed by Rodolfo D’Onofrio is determined to keep a majority percentage of the pass from Agustin Palavecino. This Friday the dialogues with Deportivo Cali were resumed, which was open to negotiating a sale. And there is optimism, this time, that the Doll’s wish will prosper.
Friday was a busy day at the communications level. The leadership of River he communicated early with the representatives of Cali offering to buy 35% of your token in this market, committing to acquire 35% later. It would even have been put on the table that the purchase obligation was tied to the player’s productivity, although the Colombians quickly dismissed it. At the crossroads of calls, Marco Caicedo, president of the sugar factory, The possibility of selling only half of the player’s economic rights was even raised, withholding in equal parts together with Platense (his partner in the sale) the other 50% betting on a future transfer. It remains for them to agree what percentage will be paid now and in what amount, and what will remain pending payment.
The management has become tedious and is on track, according to those who are aware of it, something that did not happen a week ago when the Argentine and Colombian positions were much further apart. While Enzo Francescoli proposed a loan with a charge ($ 300,000) for 12 months and with a purchase option of $ 3.7 million, Caicedo responded with a very high counter-proposal: first, a transfer of $ 1,300,000 to be deducted from a purchase option of US $ 4.5 million for 80% and, later, it was revealed that it would only trade at Palavecino through a sale operation.
River He is not economically standing in the same place as when he began to negotiate for the creative midfielder: Santiago Sosa’s departure to Atlanta United will guarantee an income of US $ 6,000,000. And the Treasury could secure another millionaire sum for one of the clauses of the Martinez Quarta sale contract. In this way, you will have dollars to invest for the player you Gallardo He asked and what he imagines as River’s creative once Nacho Fernández emigrates, either now or in the middle of the year.
Cali, who has the last word when negotiating, has suffered the wear and tear of this situation and aims to do the best possible business with its franchise player, who has already rejected two offers to renew his contract (expires on December 31) and who, in addition, knew how to exert pressure in order to force a River: first he asked Caicedo to consider the possibility of his exodus to Núñez and, 48 hours later, he asked coach Alfredo Arias not to play against Envigado because he was focused on his future. That sit-in had caused discomfort even among the fans. His gesture on Tuesday, covering his ears, after his goal against Boyacá Chicó, was interpreted as a response to so much criticism, just when it also began to circulate that Palm Trees He was willing to make a succulent offer, close to US $ 4,000,000 for 80% of his token, and that Porto would try to take him in June.
But Palavecino wants to come to River. Fulfill the dream of his family, who are a fan. Of course he also understands that being directed by Gallardo could empower him internationally, allowing him to show himself in a window with greater visibility. He’s excited about his dream ending. And the negotiations, now, seem to be moving forward.
