Colombian season started back up yesterday. Wasn't in the line up at all but could've been rested for the Copa Libertadores Semi final coming up on Wednesday. 2nd leg is then on July 13th.
Yeah probably given an off also due to the Copa America
Colombian season started back up yesterday. Wasn't in the line up at all but could've been rested for the Copa Libertadores Semi final coming up on Wednesday. 2nd leg is then on July 13th.
Do we really want a top prospect who gets into Colombia's first team to be playing in the second tier of Spanish football? If he was to go out on loan it would have to be in the top tier of whichever country he was sent to, otherwise we may as well stay in Colombia for another season.
Aren't we buddies with Roma, Torino, Genoa and Udinese or something like that?South American footballers tend to develop well in the Serie A. I am sure we can secure a loan to a mid-table Serie A team.
The more I think about it, he is either plan B to Sané or we're signing him and loaning him out work permit or not. Either way there's been no news other than we won't hear anything until July 27th. By that time Sané should be a City player or not.
End of Copa Libertadores. By the way, his club brought in 8 new players yesterday which I think was the significance of getting a decision on him. Now would be the time where I wish a fan of his current club would sign up and give us more info because it's hard to track down the source that has said "Atletico Nacional has agreed that they will sell him after the Copa, specifically to Manchester City" .
This is as close as any news I can find that says that the deal was done on Tuesday but won't be announced until end of the Copa(July 27)
Then there's this, I don't know if it's the likelihood of where he will be sold or not. I know commentary during the semi final game kept saying it was between us and Fiorentina and they might have the edge since they've had a National Team teammate of his in Cuadrado and he might think that's the best place to go and develop.
Personally I hope we can close this deal and do something similar with this as the Rulli situation. Buy and then loan him out to the team that wanted him
