Cruz Azul and Botafogo had approved and promoted the signing of defender Victor Hugo Soares dos Santos for the Guard1anes 2021 League MX tournament. The Brazilians had accepted that the Mexicans wanted a one-year loan with an option to buy, and the Aztecs agreed with the exit clause imposed by Fogão.
However, The Machine had until Friday to confirm negotiations and the call to Brazil did not arrive. Kanu was a starter in Botafogo vs Fluminense on Sunday and his departure from the institution was suspended despite the fact that he had said goodbye to his colleagues in the cabinet last Thursday.
What happened? Cruz Azul was dissatisfied with the clauses that Fogão demanded to lend to Kanu and in the end they did not answer with the final yes to stay with the player and negotiations were put on hold until further notice.
I now spoke to a person involved in the negotiation:
Kanu stays! The board no longer considers the sent counter-proposal to be valid and if Cruz Azul so wishes, it will have to be renegotiated.
I bring all the values and details of the negotiation here: https://t.co/7D8P2FukNl

Botafogo’s intent was that The Machine would pay $ 3.2 million if it exercised the buy option mid-year and $ 4 million if they decided to stay with the Brazilian defender permanently in December., but Jaime Ordiales and the managers did not like what they asked.
As explained by Resenha Alvinegra, No one from Cruz Azul made contact, which led to Botafogo temporarily closing the company. That won’t stop the Mexican club’s board from resurfacing and making a new offer, but the new values should be discussed. because no valid proposal is active ‘.
Has the benefit of the doubt
