He does not go to River: Luciano Rodríguez will be sold to Girona in Spain

The little novel about Luciano Rodriguez is about to come to an end, to one that is not happy for River. The name of the Uruguayan playmaker began to be heard strongly in Nuñez a few days ago after his representative held a meeting with the leadership in Montevideo, prior to the match against Nacional.

It seemed that River could make a new move to try to buy him, just as they did in the last transfer market, but everything will just be a few talks and nothing more. If there is no inconvenience, In the next few hours Luciano Rodríguez will be transferred to Girona in Spain, a team owned by the City Group.

As often happens with players who are about to be sold to Europe, Mauricio Machadorepresentative of Rodríguez, He used River to raise the player’s price even more and also for Girona to rush to close the transfer. River was interested, yes, but it was never going to offer the 14 million that Liverpool from Uruguay requested.

Luciano Rodríguez, to Girona of Spain

In this framework, the sale of Rodríguez to the Spanish team is practically done, which will play in the UEFA Champions League next season and has fresh money to keep the man from the Uruguayan National Team. 14 million dollars for 75% is what Girona initially offered, a number that was difficult to reach in Nuñez.

Luciano Rodríguez is one step away from going to Spain.

Palmeiras was also in the bidding for Luciano Rodríguez, offering him a better salary, but it did not reach the amount that Liverpool was asking for and the Uruguayan club cares little where its jewels go: He just wants to get the greatest financial return possible. and that is why the Spanish have the advantage.

Statements from Rodríguez’s representative

• “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, but in this case the three options are very good. Girona is the same language, Spain, River is next door, Palmeiras too. They are teams that are in the Copa Libertadores, Club World Cup, Champions League… all three are very good, right?”
• “Girona offers what Liverpool asks for, but the issue of the percentage is being negotiated. And the amount requested by Liverpool was reached. “Liverpool wants to keep 25% and that is being negotiated with Girona.”
• “Luciano already spoke with Stuani, he told him everything about the club, about the city, and with the Sports Director of Girona”
• “For me the main issue is sports, Luciano needs to have minutes because the National Team is also there, we also look at the language a little, we are also looking at the percentage issue for Luciano, because the player deserves it, we are talking about them paying the 20%, negotiating all that”
