After last Wednesday the president of Atlético Nacional Juan David Pérez spoke in the ‘smoke-free zone’ program about the interest of América de Cali in having the services of the Cauca forward Gustavo Torres. The position of the club is clear and only he or any player of the purslane team would come out through sale and not by loan.
“A loan is complicated at the moment, the time we have for the start of the competition. We have a group of 27 players that we want to protect and we are waiting for the number of players to increase from the Government. Under these circumstances, a free loan, as they are proposing, is unfeasible from the economic and sports aspects ”, declared Pérez.
However, this Thursday it was learned by the Antioqueño journalist Juan Carlos Jiménez that America would be resorting to speaking directly with the player and his representative Carolina Ardila so that some business could be given that would lead to the attacker in the ‘scarlet’ set.
“Members of América de Cali when they see that the only way to take Gustavo Torres from Atlético Nacional is for sale. They chose to call the Player personally with the intention of ill-advising him to act. And not happy with it, they have also called Carolina Ardila. Logically this has caused annoyance in the Antioquia club, who from the beginning was open and friendly to negotiate … Too bad, Don Tulio, it shouldn’t be the way, “said the communicator on his twitter account.
But not only has interest in Torres come from America, according to Purslane President Juan David Pérez, offers from European football, specifically Israel and Bulgaria, reached Nacional, but they did not meet expectations. “A couple of loan proposals came in a couple of weeks ago by Gustavo Torres, from the Israel League and the Bulgarian League. Free loan in which Nacional assumed more than half the salary and with purchase options with insignificant, Pyrrhic values. They were rejected first hand and there were not even counterproposals because with these approaches it is impossible to move forward. Right now we don’t have any proposal ”.
Gustavo Torres, who arrived in June 2017 from Deportes Quindío, had his best start this 2020 with Atlético Nacional by scoring four goals in five games played. After passing through San Lorenzo de Argentina and Águilas Doradas de Rionegro, the player continues to work under Juan Carlos Osorio and currently has a contract with the Antioquia institution until 2022.
