From the Núñez club they communicated directly with Ferro Dho representatives to notify the transfer and coordinate the administrative details necessary to be signed in one of the largest clubs in the country. The San Cristóbal institution held a farewell ceremony for him along with his colleagues, the teachers and the board of directors.
“Everything very fast”
Camila, Juampi’s mother, said that they are “very happy, very proud of Juampi. It all happened very quickly, on a Thursday they announced that I had to be there on Monday. He said goodbye to everyone, it is very difficult because he is little but we are very happy. We are grateful to the people because we held raffles to make this possible, to the businesses, ventures and others that donated and collaborated with prizes, both in San Cristóbal and Salta. Also thanks to the club, to the teachers who are important in his training and he loves them very much. Now his father accompanies him to River’s house until he is transferred, we are waiting. Juampi has been focused on football for many years, but now assimilating it from one day to the next is a bit difficult because he is small.”
