Tick, toc, tick, toc … Time advances and Atlético Nacional and Cortuluá do not reach an economic agreement to pay off the debt on the subject of Fernando Uribe. Telephones ring in Guarne and Tuluá, offers come and go, but the managers do not agree.
At a press conference and despite the discomfort of answering, the Purslane coach Alejandro Restrepo was optimistic and already has a game plan with four of the six players to register (Dorlan Pabón would be ruled out due to physical discomfort and Cristian Castro Devenish is with the Colombian National Team sub 20).
“The situation with the players (without being able to register) is that we are waiting for what today can be defined. I see it as very positive and everyone in the club environment is trusting in the possibility that they (the 6 players without registering) are, “explained the Antioquia coach.
There are several versions on the subject and few certainties. As FUTBOLRED learned, it is said that the ‘heart of the Valley’ team would be willing to reduce the debt to 3.5 million dollars at the current exchange rate of the Colombian peso. On the side of the purslanes, they would be willing to pay 2.5 million of the North American currency, but with the exchange rate at the time the agreement was made, that is, in 2012.
The truth is that if an agreement is not reached, the players will not be able to be registered by the team and Nacional’s idea is to transfer them to foreign clubs where the pass book remains open. There are just a few hours until the deadline ends (10 pm) and for now, everything is a mystery.
