There are two weeks left until the transfer period in Europe opens again. In addition to specifying immediate signings, clubs will be able to freely agree with players who end their contract in mid-2022, so that they join for free at the end of the season.
As of January 1, several Colombians will be able to negotiate with any team. Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, David Ospina and Falcao García are among the most valuable who would remain as free agents at the end of the 21/22 campaign, although it is not ruled out that they renew their commitments with their respective current clubs.
Square, close to continuing in Juve
Juventus wants to keep the 33-year-old player and is already working on his renewal. Even, as confirmed by the Italian journalist Nicoló Schira, next week there will be a meeting between Vecchia Signora and Juan Guillermo’s agent, Alessandro Lucci, to close the extension until 2024. Transfermarkt, portal specialized in transfers, values the footballer at 16 million euros.
Days ago, the vice president of the Turin team, Pavel Nedved, said that beyond looking for large transfers in the next market, they consider it very important to maintain the base and give confidence to those who are in the squad. “It is not impossible for someone to arrive in January but we have to focus on ours”, he assured.
Possibilities of Ospina and Falcao
The goalkeeper is another of the Colombians who ends his contract in 2022. Napoli will try to retain him, but there are already several clubs monitoring his situation. According to information from the European press, negotiations are already underway with the southern Italian team. Lazio and Juventus would be interested in the goalkeeper valued at € 5 million.
For its part, el Tigre signed until June next year when he joined Rayo. Although it is still early to define his future, the attacker would extend his link until 2023, as reported in Spain just over a month ago. It currently has a market value of 2.2 million euros.
“Rayo Vallecano is going to renew Radamel Falcao. The contractual situation between the parties was one more year another optional and if Rayo descended the player would leave, now these options have been eliminated and Falcao would be Rayo’s player for another year “, said the journalist Marcos De Vicente in the program El Chiringuito.
