Ernesto Pedernera’s. River’s management hopes to close the arrival of Kevin Castaño on Sunday. The transfer of the Colombian central midfielder who plays for Krasnodar, Russia, would be agreed in a week for around nine million dollars and his contract would be until December 2028.
After a novel with several chapters, everything indicates that a happy ending is approaching: there would already be a verbal agreement in principle between the clubs and in the next few hours they would cross the formal documentation. In this way, Marcelo Gallardo will be able to count on a replacement for Rodrigo Villagra.
Beyond the fact that the transfer of the midfielder to the businessman Foster Gillett is in a standstill due to lack of payment, River believes that the exit will be finalized and that is why they accelerated the transfer of Castaño. At first they contacted his representative and then entered into formal negotiations with Krasnodar.
The details of the operation were not disclosed, but it is believed that Millonario will buy the entire contract and not just the 70 percent that belongs to the Russian team (the remaining 30 is Cruz Azul). Although at one point 10 million dollars were requested, the offer for nine would allow a successful outcome.
In the middle of the negotiations, the player’s father responded to a comment from a Millonario fan on social media who asked him for the transfer to be finalized in the current transfer market. “We are doing everything possible,” was the response that caused a stir and sparked excitement.
Castaño himself also reacted to several posts related to River, which made clear what his intention was while waiting for the talks between the clubs to advance.
Rey Domenech renewed his contract with Boca for four years
After the necessary agonizing victory over Banfield at the Florencio Sola stadium, with a goal from the youth Lautaro Di Lollo, Boca announced another good news related to the credits of the Lower Divisions. Camilo Rey Domenech signed a contractual improvement that will link him to the club until December 2029.
The midfielder from the 2006 category, who will play for four more years in the Xeneize according to the papers, was promoted this year to the First Division at the request of Fernando Gago, who had been watching him for a long time. “I have been following Camilo for almost five years, since I started being a coach, to give you an idea. I know the injury situations he went through. He is a footballer who has always surprised me. He surprises me in every training session, in every match and he has a very good predisposition to work,” he confessed after his official debut, against Argentino de Monte Maíz in Santa Fe.
In this sense, he dedicated a lot of praise to him: “He has an extraordinary personality and conditions… he plays naturally. It is very important that he takes so naturally what it is like to play in the First Division of Boca. Now, he has to stay, which is the difficult part.”
Esteban Solari, Santiago’s brother, is the new coach of Godoy Cruz
Ernesto Pedernera’s fate as coach of Godoy Cruz was already sealed. The poor results obtained at the start of the season (two draws and two defeats), added to a team performance that never quite convinced, were conditions for the leaders to make the decision to end the contract.
Beyond the 0-0 with River de Mendoza, which seemed to renew credits for the change of image that Tomba showed, the decision had already been made before the game played last night in Mendoza.
For this reason, the leaders moved quickly in the face of the imminent outcome and agreed on the arrival of Esteban Solari as the new technical director. The former coach of the Argentine under 18 team was chosen among several names that were heard in recent days, such as Luca Marcogiuseppe, Facundo Sava and Mauro Gerk.
Esteban Solari is the son of the former coach Eduardo Miguel Solari, nephew of Jorge Indio Solari and brother of Santiago, the former River and Real Madrid midfielder. As a player he wore the shirts of Estudiantes (LP), Argentinos, Defensa and Gimnasia (ER), as well as playing in several countries in Europe and South America, and even in Mexico and China.
