The Eagles have not been able to give way to Andrés Ibargüen or Roger Martínez to open the doors for the Chileans
Time is running out for America in the quest to lose the services of Andrés Ibargüen or Roger Martínez, opening the doors of the team to Chilean Nicolás Castillo.
Since December last year, ESPN announced that the board’s wish is to eliminate the Colombian attackers because they are no longer highly regarded in the team. However, so far no offer has been made to convince all sides that the attackers will continue their careers in another league.
In Roger’s case, the forward has sparked the interest of a number of clubs in Argentina, but the high salary he receives in Coapa is priceless for any football club in the Pampas. In addition, the Colombian remains committed to the idea of continuing his career in Europe, a situation that seems remote as no club from the old continent has shown any interest in ‘El Tanque’.
On the other hand, Ibargüen has sparked the interest of three MLS clubs, with Minnesota United putting in the most effort for the 28-year-old player, but so far the surgery has not been possible as Ibargüen was not coming. to MLS as a franchise player and would earn less than $ 690,000 per year, an amount less than what he receives in Coapa.
In the event that it is not possible to accommodate these players by January 31st, America would still have the option to negotiate with them to terminate their contracts, a situation that seems complicated as Roger has a contract of more than two years and Ibargüen will end their relationship in December of 2021, so in either case, it would be a significant sum of money America would have to release to end the employment relationship.
Another option America could consider is to terminate another foreigner to free up his placeIn case he goes down this road, one of the men most at risk is Paraguayan Sergio Díaz, who has barely six months on his contract and has so far not been taken into account by Santiago Solari at the start of the Clausura 2021 .
America needs to speed up the machine to negotiate with Martínez, Ibargüen, or another foreigner to open the door to Nico CastilloIn the event that he cannot achieve this, the chances increase that the Chilean will have to be unemployed for another 6 months and enrolled in the Apertura 2021.
