Argentine midfielder will not be registered by Timão in time to take the field in the first game of the season due to the amount to be paid to Talleres
O Corinthians The season hasn’t even started yet, but it already sees an annoying obstacle in its path. In the first game of the year, Timão should not have the Argentine midfielder Rodrigo Garro for the premiere. Announced on January 2nd, it presented itself six days into the pre-season and since then has been waiting for an agreement between the black and white club and the Talleresfrom the Argentinato be able to be used in Paulista championship.
Garro is unlikely to have his documentation released in time to be registered by Corinthians for the first round of Paulistão, this Sunday, 21st, against Guarani. Talleres expects a payment of around R$20 million to be able to release the midfielder. “The one at risk of not playing on Sunday is Garro. There was a first negotiation that we had to deposit the first installment of Garro in the region of US$ 2 million, and when signing the contract this changed to US$ 4 million (around R$ 20 million), they put the two installments together. We are paying a bill, obviously Corinthians is an institution and owner of the account, but it is something that was imposed to close the payment and they did not have that money in cash”he said Rozallah Santorothe team’s financial director, in an interview with the channel “Alambrado Alvinegro”.
“If I could pay that amount today and bid for it to debut, I would. He should miss his debut, but we will pay within ten days of signing the contract and we will have the player for the rest of the championship. We are carrying a bill of lack of credibility”, added Santoro. The value of the operation to sign the midfielder has not yet been revealed, but it should be around US$6 million. Payment will be made in three installments, two of which will be paid by the club to release the athlete.
There is an expectation from the Argentine club to receive the first installment this Friday, 19th. Without Garro, who had been training among the starters at the beginning of the season, the coach Mano Menezes must put Matías Rojas in his place, who has been working among the reserves, but being praised internally for the change in attitude he had.
