The Salvadoran team chairman assured that the Mexican footballer was in decline despite the fact that they already had a verbal agreement.
Carlos ‘Gullit’ Peña refused to play in the Salvadoran soccer team Santa Tecla, something the team considers a lack of seriousness by the Mexican midfielder, as a pre-contract had already been signed.
He’s sent a series of apologies. The truth is that I am not disappointed that nothing has been signed yet, but it is a lack of seriousness on the part of the player “, José Eduardo Amaya, president of Santa Tecla, told ESPN Digital when speaking about the negotiations he had with Carlos Peña’s representative.
A week ago, José Eduardo Amaya noted that the talks between the parties were on the right track and even the terms of an alliance that would last three and a half months had been practically laid down, terms favorable to Carlos Peña, as the Tamaulipeco would add minutes to an official tournament to resume their level of play; The Salvadoran leader was even confident that the footballer would arrive in his country in early February.
In the end, the situation changed abruptly and José Eduardo Maya knew that the Mexican reinforcement for the club was collapsing. “Carlos watched another number at the same time as us and chose to take the other option; I imagine it’s better for him and his future. So we close the chapter with his representative ”.
The leader confirmed that Carlos Peña withdrew because there was already a verbal agreement. “We were about to sign the preliminary contract; That is why nothing had been made official at the club yet. Everything went well, but in the end it was an intention between the parties ”. The Salvadoran tournament starts on February 15th.
