The national team midfielder is not in Fiorentina’s plans, so South America appears as his possible destination. That if, from the cast of São Paulo, they warn: “There is nothing advanced with any football player.”
Erick Pulgar has yet to define his future. The defensive midfielder is looking for a club that wants to rely on his services for the next season as he is not part of Fiorentina’s plans. In this context, Corinthians appears on the horizon. From the Brazilian club they recognize that there is interest, but they warn that for now it does not go beyond that.
“We are looking for two or three players, but there is nothing advanced with any of them. They are footballers that we observe, nothing more”, assured Duilio Monteiro Alves, president of the institution. from Sao Paulo.
Despite the fact that a few years ago it seemed that the national midfielder was consolidating in Europe, and even his name was in the orbit of some of the greats of the old continent, an uneven run in 2021-22 could bring him back to South America sooner than expected.
In search of regularity
The Antofagasta man added just 341 minutes, spread over six games, at the Florence club in the first half of the season, for which he was sent on loan to Galatasaray from Turkey. It was thought he would return to regularity there, however, he only played eleven games, completing the ninety in only three.
Low numbers for a player who since 2018 has established himself as undisputed in the Chilean team. In the process towards Qatar 2022, the old Catholic university acted twelve times, each time he was not there, yes, it was due to physical complications, since For Martín Lasarte and Reinaldo Rueda, he was the incumbent.
The loss of ground in Italy complicate the thumb . Fiorentina are open to another loan or sale. A few days ago it turned out that his destiny would be in Russia, more precisely at CSKA Moscow, where another Chilean, Mark González, was playing at the time. However, this option would be blocked. It is in this context that the possible return to South America appears.
Of course, it’s not in your hands. Beyond the interest admitted by the Corinthians, it is not the priority. The first thing they want is to attach an attacker. Thus, Yuri Alberto, player of Zenit Saint Petersburg, appears in the equation. Just after having finalized or not his signature, they will opt for Erick Pulgar and Fabián Balbuena, defender of Dinamo Moscow, the other player of interest of the repertoire Timao.
Currently, the São Paulo club is in second place in the Brasileirao, two behind leader Palmeiras. Moreover, they will face Boca Juniors in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores
