Angileri: Libertadores & Supercup Influence Stay Decision

Winning the Brazilian Super Cup, last Sunday, played an important role in Angileri’s decision. The Argentine was frustrated for not being with the squad in Brasília.

The good relationship with his co-stars also influenced his choice to stay. Angileri even talked to friends at Internacional, one of the clubs interested in signing him, but concluded that his personal desire was to stay at Corinthians.

Another determining factor was the possibility of competing in the Libertadores. The full-back received inquiries from other teams, but none of them would be present in the continental competition, which ended up weighing on the decision.

Imposition on staff

The resumption of negotiations was directly at the player’s will, even going against the position of his representatives. The agents’ advice was to change clubs, but Angileri decided to follow a different path.

After reflecting a lot, especially in the last week, the Argentine concluded that Corinthians is the ideal environment to continue his career. The choice, however, implies a new salary reduction, increasing the financial loss already accepted when he arrived at the club at the beginning of last year. This reduction in salaries caused discomfort among the athlete’s staff.
