River awaits the decision: Santino Andino has almost defined his future
His great performances during the first semester put him in the orbit of some of the most important clubs in the country and led him to be called up by Pachuca to play in the Club World Cup. Back in Los Rayos, Agustín continued to shine, which led two of Mexico’s greats to start moving for him.
Although America was in the fight, Palavecino will finally play for Cruz Azul. Although his termination clause was almost $9.5 million, The Machine will pay only US$5,000,000, although it will include Lorenzo Faravelli’s pass. In this way, the cement team keeps the midfielder.
One of Cruz Azul’s incentives to move forward with Agustín was that, months ago, it incorporated Jose Paradelaalso from Necaxa, and the former Gimnasia became one of the most outstanding players in the league. Now, he will reunite the two former River players, who already shone together with the Los Rayos shirt. They will be added Miguel Borja in the next few days.
Does River receive money from the sale of Palavecino to Cruz Azul?
The answer is no: River will not receive money for the arrival of the midfielder to Cruz Azul. It turns out that The Millionaire got rid of Agustín’s pass when he sold it to Necaxasale with which pocketed US$2,340,000 gross for 65% of the passwithin a sale that closed at US$ 3,600,000 gross. The rest of the figure was distributed between Platense (U$S 600,000) and Deportivo Cali.
For its part, the solidarity mechanism does not help the CARP in this case. This FIFA regulation obliges clubs to pay a percentage of the transfer to the institutions where the footballers were trained between 12 and 23 years old. Nothing belongs to River since Palavecino arrived at the age of 24.
