Giovanni Moreno is in China, resolving financial matters in the country where he spent much of his career, but is ready to return to Liga Betplay.
After being crowned champion on his return to Atlético Nacional but saying goodbye in the midst of the controversy over his staunch defense of the then DT Hernán ‘Arriero’ Herrera, there would already be several teams interested in repatriating him, knowing that he is not an economic player but that he is worth what he weighs. at the time of the competition.
Specifically, as reported by the journalist Pipe Sierra in Win Sports, there are three teams that would have sent him offers, each with a particular motivation.
The first, which on paper sounds more attractive, would be Deportivo Pereira, which guarantees Copa Libertadores. In his favor is his great relationship with champion coach Alejandro Restrepo, but also the need for a player in his position after Yesus Cabrera’s delicate injury.
In addition, the club has just overcome the legal problem that jeopardized its permanence in the League and the future is looking brighter. However, he is an expensive player who will require a significant economic effort, and furthermore, at 36 years of age, it is difficult to think of long-term contracts or possible transfers to recover investment.
Another great interested party would be precisely the team where ‘Arriero’ Herrera is currently, Once Caldas. The great relationship between the two could bring them closer, just now that the Manizale team needs experienced men for their fight for permanence. That, precisely, is what complicates the option because that pressure is not as attractive for an older player like Moreno and there is also Sherman Cárdenas, which would make internal management difficult.
A third interested party, according to the source, would be Atlético Junior, the new team led by Hernán ‘Bolillo’ Gómez, another with a great relationship with the veteran striker. That would guarantee a friendly landing, but the truth is that the squad has many alternatives in attack and integrating it would not seem like such an easy task. Putting him together with Juan Fernando Quintero is very attractive, in sports and commercial terms, but putting it into practice on the field will require many adjustments.
