More than one fan of National Athletic requested the signing of Alex Mejia: “El Regreso del Capo” was a label that moved a lot in social networks and that remained a wish. Why?
The Barranquilla footballer answered it in an interview in ESPN Soccer Colombia. Now that he is part of the payroll of Santa Fe And that he already played his first game with the Bogota team (90 minutes against Atlético Bucaramanga), he decided to speak in the media to tell his version of what happened with the purslane team in which he is the idol of the fans.

“The thought I had was to go back to Colombia because obviously last semester I didn’t have as much participation. I want to play and be useful. I feel young, physically well and every day I wake up with enthusiasm, with more strength. I felt like I was wasting time. I spoke with the people of Libertad. They openly accepted my point of view and I think a good settlement was reached “, was the first thing he said about his goal of returning to the Colombian soccer.
And I add: “I am free. Is given the Junior. The truth was not reached a good port. Unfortunately things did not turn out. Before ending my relationship with Libertad, I came in conversations with Atlético Nacional and that yes, no, that it couldn’t, that we had to wait for the issue of Fernando Uribe and that in those positions they had players. They were waiting. Anyway, a lot of things. So I decide to go to Armenia to continue preparing. I did not stop training waiting for opportunities. In the end Agustín Julio and the people of Santa Fe They call me and openly express everything they want. I was seduced by the project and decided to go to Santa Fe. I feel happy “, He said.
So it is clear that Atlético Nacional and Álex Mejía They did have approaches to achieve their return but that both the legal situation the club is going through and the presence of, mainly, Baldomero Perlaza, Sebastián Gómez and Bryan Rovira in the establishment, they were decisive in the decision not to go to depth in their hiring. In that wait another option arose for the player and he took it.
