Has the future of Luciano Rodríguez been defined?: “Girona reached the amount requested by Liverpool”

River decidedly entered the bidding for Luciano Rodríguez, a striker for Liverpool from Uruguay who was already sought in the last transfer market. On Monday night, the footballer’s agent held a meeting with Millonario leaders in Montevideo seeking to move forward with the negotiation, but Nuñez will have to hurry if they want to close it.

As revealed by Mauricio Machado, Rodríguez’s representative, Girona of Spain, owned by the City Group, is the club that made the most progress to buy the attacker from the Uruguayan National Team: “Girona offers what Liverpool asks for, but the percentage issue is being negotiated. And the amount requested by Liverpool was reached. Liverpool wants to keep 25% and that is being negotiated with Girona“, he revealed in dialogue with 100% Deporte.

The Spanish club had a historic campaign in La Liga and will play next UEFA champions league, so from a sporting perspective it is a quite seductive challenge and your wallet will be larger than that of other clubs. Liverpool of Uruguay has no preferences when choosing the new destination for its jewel: Whoever puts in the most money is going to take it. It’s that simple.

“Regarding the contract, there is talk of a minimum of four years, that is what we want, between four and five. Luciano is interested in going to a place where he knows he is going to play, that is the first thing he analyzes, sports is the main thing, then obviously comes the economic part.“added the agent in this regard.

In turn, Machado put a certain brake on the Girona issue and leaves the door open for River: “He has to go to a place where he plays because the National Team is also there. Sometimes they send you to a big team in Europe and they loan you out from here to there and three years go by where you play very little. I see River as viable, but they have to set a value that is in line with what Liverpool intends.”.

More statements from Rodríguez’s representative

• “The three options (Palmeiras, River and Girona) are very good. But we are seduced by Girona a little more because it is Europe and because it plays in the Champions League. “It doesn’t matter to Luciano and he is not very moved by Europe or the Champions League, what he wants is to play.”
• “I met with River at the hotel where the delegation was in Uruguay, more than anything because of what happened in January, when Luciano was at the pre-Olympic, so being there is not the same as being with the people and defining the issue well” .
• “I am in permanent contact with José Luis Palma for Luciano, today we have an offer on the table that is from Girona, because since they qualified for the Champions League they can buy him directly, and we are in negotiations with other clubs, such as River, “I had a meeting with Patanian and they are interested again in being able to start negotiating.”
