Although he signed a contract until December 2024, his time at El Millonario was shorter than expected.

If I didn’t do well, I would have gone like in Las Palmas where I played 15 games and scored zero goals.. They bring you in, you’re a gamble and you don’t score any goals as a striker. That’s what’s going wrong for you. But In River I scored 10 goals and we extended the number of victories in the Monumental, winning games on the hour“, he assured. And he concluded: “The ‘it didn’t go well for you’ is subjective, it depends on how you are physically and mentally. “How many Argentine players go to Mexican soccer and don’t do well.”
