As announced yesterday, the Gimnasia leadership continues to negotiate very quietly for the arrival of an outside forward who can adapt to playing on both the right and the left and who comes from playing for a club in Ecuador.
It is a promise of Colombian football that comes from having a visit to Ecuador and that for the current Board of Directors could represent a productive investment for the future since a purchase option will be assured in the event that negotiations advance.
The arrival of defender Gonzalo Errecalde brought down the transfer market shares very low, since he is a defender who has just played for a Primera B Nacional team and will not be taken into account as a starter by Fernando Zaniratto. Added to this is that Juan Ignacio Miramón could not be on the first two dates due to an injury and that Agustín Auzmendi will be the substitute for Franco Torres. That is why without an explicit request from Zaniratto, both Germán Brunatti and President Anacleto are moving forward with the hiring.
On the other hand, the team trained yesterday at Estancia Chica and this morning there will be a formal practice with tactical work on the main field of Bosque.
In another vein, the Board of Directors clarified yesterday that all of the expenses and procedural costs were paid to Génoa for a total of USD22,300 in the procedure that the Italian club had claimed before the Superior Court of Arbitration for Sports (TAS) for the pending charge in the contracting for the loan of Claudio Spinelli.
Likewise, it was agreed that an agreement had to be paid for the entire pending charge in the order of USD 549,000 for the acquisition of the pass of Matías Abaldo, whom Mariano Cowen’s Board of Directors decided to let go exactly a year ago in the Uruguay camp, citing that the player “was depressed.” In this sense, it was clarified that the payment will be made in a total of 14 installments.
It was also possible to unblock the conflict with the Juventud Las Piedras club due to the non-payment of the acquisition of the federative and economic rights of the player Juan de Dios Pintado for which the Cowen government had agreed to pay 132,000 and now a reduction of capital and interest was achieved.
