Independiente Santa Fe is preparing for the second half of the year, and with Harold Rivera at the helm, he hopes to have a good campaign that will allow him to qualify for the home runs and, later, to the grand final.
However, there is an issue that worries the cardinal fan and they are reinforcements, because, so far, important departures have been announced and little is said about future hires.
To refer to the situation, Eduardo Méndez, president of the capital team, spoke with Caracol Radio and gave a balance of the squad in terms of registrations and losses, ensuring that ‘they are not going to bring 8-10 players’, since what is sought is quality and not quantity.
Without ignoring the difficult economic situation of the club, the executive also referred to the continuity of Harold Rivera in the technical direction and the arrival of the new sponsor, Kappa.
Kelvin Osorio: “We have received some requests from Mexican teams, from the United States, a Brazilian and today they called me from the United Arab Emirates. We are talking, what happens is that if there is a good offer that suits Santa Fe, it will be done with the better pleasure, otherwise we will not leave the player because it will be difficult to find a replacement. “
Forwards: “We have Jorge Luis Ramos, Diego Valdes and Hollman McCormick. If another striker were to be brought in, we would seek to place one of them in another team, before that, we cannot leave one of them.”
Daniel Giraldo: “For about two-three months I was trying to renew it, but everything got complicated. He said he was going to MLS, we don’t know what his future is.”
Andrés Pérez: “He has a contract until December 31 and in these days we will speak again to look at his continuity and the contract.”
Fainer Torijano: “There was an approach from Atlético Nacional six months ago, but at this moment we do not have any requirement for the player. He has a contract until December.”
Possible arrival of Marco Pérez and Ángelo Rodríguez: “If there is an opportunity, DT (Harold Rivera) will give us approval.”
Injured: “Leandro Castellanos is the only one in the medical department, we have no injuries.”
Harold Rivera: “I am a man of processes, changing is not worth it, at the time Harold found the team on the verge of decline and with the few tools he took the team forward. How are we going to demand that a DT is not given the tools he wanted. He has taken us to the final, we were in home runs and he took us to international competition. ”
Club economy: “We are surviving, it is difficult, we are not going to complain because they criticize us a lot”
New sponsor: “We made an alliance with Kappa as of June 1. Every shirt that a fan buys will help to raise money and make some transactions. It will be an income to cover some debts that we have.”
