The ball does not roll, but the news does not stop. In the midst of the pause forced by the pandemic and the economic blow it gives, the Colombian soccer teams continue ‘on the move’ to arm their squads according to the hard economic possibilities and the contractual situations of the players. Junior, for example, has Michael Rangel since Wednesday, whose loan loan to America de Cali ended this Tuesday, but, for the moment, he no longer has Carmelo Valencia on his payroll, who only signed with the Sharks for six months. His contract also ended this Tuesday, June 30.
The rojiblanco club was in negotiations to renew with Valencia, but the dialogues have stalled. The return of Rangel after passing through the ‘Red Devils’, who could not make use of the attacker’s purchase option, could mean the departure of ‘Tutunendo’, according to club sources consulted by EL HERALDO.
Not everything is said in that sense, but it is one of the possibilities that the rojiblancos leaders handle. If they fail to locate abroad the Santanderian, who was Botín de Oro and one of the figures of America champion of the last tournament, it is very likely that they choose to leave him in place of Valencia for a financial matter.
The idea is to keep Carmelo Valencia, who was a file requested by coach Comesaña, and transfer Rangel, who spent more time on the bench than on the pitch with the Colombian-Uruguayan coach, but there are no specific offers for his services until now.
Víctor Cantillo and Yimmi Chará
Junior is waiting for Corinthians to pay off the second part of the money for the one-year loan loan from Víctor Cantillo. The Brazilian team has already paid the first installment. The second and last one expires on July 30.
If the São Paulo club does not comply with the agreement, the player must return to the ‘Shark’. That is what is agreed. ‘El Timao’ has checkbook problems like almost all the clubs in the world due to the devastating impact that the coronavirus has had on finances.
Another club from the country of samba, Atlético Mineiro, has been ‘dancing the Indian’ to Junior since long before the appearance of COVID-19. The Belo Horizonte team still owes money to the rojiblancos for the purchase of the Chará rights and for the subsequent sale of the same player to the Portland Timbers, from the United States (a 30% transfer was reserved by the Caribbean squad).
Junior sued Fifa and the ruling was favorable to him. The case is in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS, for its acronym in French). The rojiblanco team will receive the agreed sum and high interests if it is successful in this last instance.
On Freddy Hinestroza, who has appeared in Mexican soccer runrunes in recent days, Junior’s own sources report that “there is absolutely nothing official.”
