Romaña to River: Key Message Fuels Transfer Speculation | Olé

Tick ​​tock, tick tock… The clock is ticking and the novel by Jhohan Romaña enters its most decisive section. Riveraccelerates by the defender, San LorenzoHe needs to sell and the footballer welcomes an exit from a club that is going through a deep crisis. With aligned interests and negotiations underway, Núñez perceives that the scenario is conducive to advancing and staying with the Colombian in this market.

In this context of definitions, Romaña chose to speak without speaking. Through a story on Instagram, the defender shared a phrase that did not go unnoticed: “Have the maturity to know that silence is more powerful than having the last word.” A suggestive message, open to interpretation, that appeared just when his name is gaining strength on River’s radar and the talks are beginning to heat up.

However, the player himself was in charge of setting a limit in the following story. There he uploaded a photo of himself with the San Lorenzo shirt, a clear sign that, beyond River’s specific interest and the ongoing negotiations, his mind is still focused on the day-to-day life with Ciclón and the preseason with CASLA. The outcome has not yet arrived, but the ticking is already heard louder and louder.

River proposed to Ciclón buy 50% of the central scoreboard for US$2.5 millionwith an option of the same amount for the other half, promising to stretch in u$s 100 thousand more in each case if it was accepted and with the caveat that if this option is not executed in the next three years, should pay a penalty of US$1 million.

With the pressure that comes from being urgently required to have cash to lift the inhibitions and also knowing that the Colombian whose bond expires at the end of the year is not willing to renew it if it is not sold, in the temporary CD of the CASLA they are evaluating whether they will lower their claim to obtain US$ 5 million for 80% and they put the bow on an operation that could be a Solomonic exit for all parties.

Because the budget that was imposed on the Monumental offices does not allow them to allocate more funds for this operation, because La Pantera already told Sergio Costantino that his relationship with the club is worn out and because it is the only official and concrete offer that San Lorenzo handles along with the one made by Atlanta United for Elías Báez.

And in case something was missing to push Romaña a little more towards an exit, In the middle is the enormous insistence of the investment group that approached Boedo so that they fulfill the promise of paying him half of what you receive through a transfer as a form of compensation.

In this context, in the millionaire bunker in San Martin de los Andes They are moderately optimistic about the outcome of the story, knowing that this is the last piece they are going to move for a player with whom they Marcelo Gallardo He wants to count because it would provide him with a complement for the defenders he already has: With the physical prowess of 1.85 meters and 85 kilos he would win in the aerial gamefriction in one-on-one situations and firmness at times when the team has to defend near its goal.

Di Carlo and the Doll are clear that if JR increased his chances of becoming the fourth reinforcement like never before, it is due to the work and grace of the sales leaders: They called the president of River 48 hours ago to ask him if he would maintain his initial offer after the negotiations had ended. And given the positive response, they once again put on the table an issue that among those who handle decisions in the CARP had been left aside, waiting to study new alternatives for the position.

“Just because we are facing a deep economic crisis does not mean that we are going to give away our assets”Costantino warned this Thursday in TyC, and at the same time clarified that they do not want to have players who do not want to stay in an institution in which “the thread is very thin” due to the heavy history of “unfulfilled promises.”

And that is the case of the Colombian, who is firmly in his position to make himself available to Gallardo as soon as possible, if possible starting next week in Punta del Este, to adapt to his new teammates. The hours to come are going to be decisive to establish if at 27 years old, Jhohan Sebastián Romaña Espitia fulfills his dream of wearing the River shirt and have the economic and personal stability that after passing through Independiente Medellín, Guaraní, Austin, Olimpia and especially San Lorenzo, he could not have.
