The suspense surrounds Colo Colo in the last few hours and they fear that the signing of the Argentine striker will fall through Javier Correa of Students from La Plata. With whom they had everything arranged for him to become the first signing of this winter market.
The whites had bet all their chips on the 31-year-old scorer, who had already been in the pipeline in other windows. But this time they went all out in search of his services, agreeing on a high salary and reaching an economic agreement with the trans-Andean team to accelerate his departure.
The Cacique would pay 1.8 million dollars for his transfer, which made it impossible for the Pincharrata team in its attempts to retain Correa.
Finally, Estudiantes agreed and decided not to put restrictions, considering that it had also aroused the interest of Boca Juniors. But they were not going to reinforce a team that they consider their direct competition in the Argentine tournament.
The obstacle that appeared in Colo Colo for the arrival of Javier Correa
And when only details remained to complete the arrival of Javier Correa to the Monumental Stadium, a last-minute obstacle appeared and it has to do with the division that exists in the board of directors. Black and White.
That’s right, once again bureaucracy within the concessionaire has put the arrival of a reinforcement on hold.
According to journalist Daniel Arrieta in TNT SportsThe idea was for ByN directors to vote on Correa’s hiring via WhatsApp this Friday, to speed up the final part of the process.
But the opposition bloc – known as the Vial/Ruiz-Tagle bloc – reportedly refused to do so, so the vote was postponed to next Monday, July 1, at a board meeting.
The word of the Cacique coach
For this reason, this day at a press conference, the Albos coach, Jorge Almirón, did not want to confirm the signing of the former Santos Laguna attacker.
