Deportivo Cali received the joy of the 10th star and with it the award of playing the Copa Libertadores this year from the group stage, but as is normal after winning a title, the renewal of some of its starting players has not been easy. .
The ‘sugarcane’ team sealed the continuity of important men such as Hernán Menosse and Teófilo Gutiérrez, thinking especially about the participation in the continental competition and the defense of the title.
However, that same process has been complex with two other footballers who ended up with the approval of their fans: They are Uruguayan goalkeeper Guillermo De Amores and striker Ángelo Rodríguez, who, as a result of the goal achieved and as is hardly logical, would have increased your salary aspirations for this year.
In the situation of De Amores, an emotional aspect could interfere, since Peñarol intends it and it would be the possibility of returning to his country. The dialogues of the directors of Cali and the player’s representative have not stopped, but the economic part has not yet been resolved, which among other things is complex in the institution despite the last box office of the home runs and the final of 2021.
Moving on to Angelo, it is something similar, request for an improvement in his salary, apart from the fact that his market was expanded. Although it is not about going abroad, it has offers from other Colombian clubs. Although it is true that Rodríguez’s scoring quota was not high, his performance as a pivot and dragging marks was decisive in the team’s performance.
A player who has sounded insistently in recent days in the Verdiblanco environment is 29-year-old Valle del Cauca winger Andrés Felipe Ibargüen, who has been out of the country for 5 years and is now a free player after military in Santos Laguna, Mexico, although the best He had results with América de México by winning the 2018 championship, Liga MX and champion of champions 2019.
Ibargüen interests the Verdiblancos managers and would return to Colombian football after being in Cortuluá, Bogotá FC, Tolima and Nacional. With whom he was champion of Copa Libertadores 2016 and Recopa Suramericana in 2017, in addition to the League in 2017.
Similarly, there is the possibility of the arrival of the right back Aldaír Gutiérrez, from Pereira.
Among those who leave are the right-back Juan Camilo Angulo, a right-back who goes to Tolima and has already said goodbye on his social networks, the midfielder Michael Ortega to Deportivo Municipal, from Peru, while the left-back Darwin Andrade would not continue either.
The flyers Andrés Colorado and Jhojan Valencia are also in the deck of those who would not continue in the squad of the Colombian champion.
