More than two weeks have passed since River agreed to the termination of Rodrigo Villagra, but the club has not yet received payment of his clause from Foster Gillett’s economic group and his future is unknown. While he trains alone awaiting a definition, in Núñez they are already beginning to consider other alternatives.
On the night of Tuesday, January 28, a bombshell news surprised Argentine soccer. Unexpectedly, Millonario was close to closing the exit of the ex-Talleres player for a figure close to 12 million dollars, after a preseason and some first few games in which he had not added minutes.
The negotiation was for the payment of the termination clause, which was going to be executed by Villagra himself with money that Foster Gillett would contribute. Everything was closed overnight and immediately the Cordoba native stopped training with the squad and the management was already beginning to negotiate the arrival of Kevin Castaño to replace him.
However, the payment has still not arrived and the player continues to train on his own. Not only has the money not appeared, but the club where he would go to continue his career has not been defined either. Sloppiness that makes River reconsider the negotiation and set an ultimatum for the next few days.
For the moment, at Millonario they do not contemplate the possibility of Villagra returning to train with the squad. The idea is to maintain the pre-agreement they signed with the player for the termination of his contract, waiting for Foster Gillett to pay the agreed amount or for another buying club to appear.
Sebastián Domínguez and his anger at being called a panelist: “I was a champion six times in this country”
His critics take advantage of his participation in television, and his distrust of Lionel Scaloni’s cycle when it was beginning, to discredit his work as a coach: “People who call me ‘panelist’… I understand the game, but I understand that I was a soccer player for more than 20 years and in this country I was a champion six times, five times with Vélez. If the way they describe me is ‘panelist’ with the career I had and being a well-received coach, it speaks more of the anger and what they feel when they see me in this place.”
On the other hand, he spoke about his continuity, something that was put in doubt after the bad start of the Fortín. “The club has not proposed anything to me. I came to work from my place knowing the place I was coming to, the situation I was facing, knowing the team’s replacement and trying to meet the expectations and demands that a club like Vélez has,” he said, dispelling all possible doubts.
The truth is that Sebastián Domínguez’s team is not lifting its head and is second to last in Zone B, without points, without goals and with nine goals conceded. Only Talleres is below, which has two games less due to the suspension of the match against Godoy Cruz and because it has not yet played the match against San Martín de San Juan, corresponding to the fifth matchday.
Facundo Suárez has been out for several months due to injury and the management is looking for a striker
Instituto suffered twice on Sunday. La Gloria fell for the second time in the championship and also lost a very important player in Pedro Troglio’s structure: Facundo Suárez, who retired injured when the match against Platense was being played, a match that ended 1-0 in favor of Calamar.
It was not a good start for the Cordoba team in the fourth round of the championship, especially if we add this situation that was presumed to be difficult for the forward and that was finally confirmed in the last few hours. It happened that after falling badly after a jump, Suárez had to withdraw and be replaced immediately and with gestures of pain.
After carrying out some studies, it was confirmed that the 30-year-old attacker suffered an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee, for which he will be operated on. For this reason, he will have between six and eight months of recovery and will be out of the Albi-Roja team for a large part of this season.
