There was an approach that was economic at first and we did not agree with itThen they say there is a possibility to get out, they would have told me in advance, I would have known, so that I would also see that it would not be the only proposal, but already in the middle of the tournament it is difficult, he said in an interview with Fox Sports.

“After the injury, I started to get minutes off the bench. Then with the decision that they wouldn’t place me relatively if I didn’t do what they said, I said ‘no, it’s not what the club says, I signed something, they can’t intimidate me with that’There was a conversation in which no agreement was reached. There were things that if I didn’t go I wouldn’t play, because I’d already happened to some teammates. I told them with relative respect: ‘you can decide, I will always prepare well, if they attract me, I have peace of mind,’ he explained.
Even with Piojo’s departure, the situation did not change
Ibargüen indicated that he thought at the time that his situation could change the departure of Miguel Herrera and the advent of Santiago Solarialthough in the end this didn’t happen and he remained marginalized.
“It started because they took less account of me, then it was things that suddenly, if it was not sporty, it was just extra sporty. I kept preparing, the time allotted for me to prepare came when I realized I wouldn’t be Miguel (Herrera) anymore, I said ‘well a new technician is coming, all of a sudden he might get the chance while working.’ I am in the first game and then I see how you disappear from one day to the next“, He’s ready.
