Bustos. The return of Gonzalo Montiel to River, who has already played three games as a starter out of three possible since his arrival, caused Fabricio Bustos to be relegated to being a substitute, in principle.
Attentive to the situation, the rumor arose from Brazil that Inter would seek to repatriate him, but in Núñez they took it upon themselves to definitively turn him down.
It was the Brazilian press that began to talk about a supposed interest of the gaúcho team in having the full-back again just six months after having sold him to Millonario, in exchange for 5 million dollars.
In addition, the bond between the 28-year-old player and the Colorado leadership was not 10 points, because he stood up and began to train apart from the squad with the intention of having them accept River’s offer as soon as possible. The return of Cachete in this transfer market – he has already scored his first goal – when it seemed that Bustos had earned the position, could have increased the appeal of having his services again. However, no proposal has yet arrived at the offices of the Monumental stadium.
According to what they say in the ring of the San Martín stands, the coaching staff headed by Marcelo Gallardo has the ex-Independiente in their plans and they are not even considering the possibility of selling him now.
In turn, the second on the list of Montiel’s replacements is Milton Casco, who no longer has the physical conditions of yesteryear, when he was the footballer with the most appearances in the first cycle of the coach.
