Deportivo Municipal appears to have concluded negotiations to have Jefferson Farfán for the entire 2021 season. The Peruvian national team forward would be the highest paid player in the local area and would return to activity after a cartilage cleanse on one of his knees.
This possible signing has sparked controversy not only among the Alianza Lima fans who wanted to see the ‘Foquita’ with their club’s shirt, but also among the same fans of the council team, as some believe that the aforementioned footballer would be an unnecessary expense for the treasury of the popular ‘Muni’.
One of the most recognized fans of Municipal sports is the sports journalist, Erick Osores. The host of ‘Fútbol en América’ indicated that despite the fact that real estate buildings are included in the councilors’ records, the club should prioritize the right investment of its money and not spend on bombastic purchases like Jefferson Farfán .
“Deportivo Municipal is a club that has been financially hurt in recent years, it has been mistreated. I celebrate the arrival of the new directive, but Municipal must be aware and not spend, it must invest. And looking for a footballer like Farfán, those numbers, is not putting the money in the right place. Municipal needs to heal his wounds and before Farfán or another great player comes, Municipal needs a field in the meantime. Invest your money well, ”he began.
“I would really like Farfán to play in Alianza, I think it is his place in the world and Municipal is not. But above all, Municipal needs to take care of its economy and become a competitive club based on knowing how to invest and not spend. For me, putting money into Jefferson Farfán is a waste of money, ”he said.
It should be noted that our Peruvian team striker will be the highest paid player in League 1, with a salary of about $ 50,000 per month plus a percentage of what is obtained from shirt sales.
