Despite the victorious debut, the week did not start peacefully at the San Lorenzo given that on Sunday evening it was learned that Federico Gattonione of the most important promises and realities of the Cyclone, was away in Europe without authorization from the club to resolve a personal matter concerning his possible landing in the Old Continent in this transfer market.
Of course, in Boedo they didn’t deal well with this unexpected journey and are already taking action on the matter. The main problem is that the centre-back is in talks with Il Corvo to renew his contract, which expires in June this year, and the fear that he will go free is latent. Taking into account the trend that has become increasingly popular where players put pressure on clubs and hope to release themselves in the Gasometer soon, they are more than attentive to this issue and await his return.
This Monday Gattoni did not show up for training and the novel continues. For this reason, Rubén Darío Insúa is authorized to speak on this subject and has done so in an interview with Equipo F. Cyclone’s trainer was calm despite everything and gave an overview of what’s happening.
At the beginning of the interview, Oscar Ruggeri went directly to DT and asked directly about this case. “I would separate the argument into two parts. Before the week before he was in talks with the club to renew his contract, he spoke to me and told me that he had decided to accept the club’s offer and that during this week he would sign the agreement with San Lorenzo. This is point number one. Now he called me and said he was going to travel because they had to give him the passport. I can’t give you permission because this is not within my power, which needs to be resolved by the club managementInsua explained.
Continuing with the interview, El Gallego was cautious, almost optimistic about the whole situation, maintaining his characteristic composure and giving hope that the matter will be resolved in the best possible way. “youI’m still not mad because he told me he was signing the contract this week, if that happens, the party who told me will have been satisfied. Before he can agree with the club and the question of transfer or not, which will be decided by him and the club, now or in the middle of the season.”
Finally, Insúa clarified the importance of the 23-year-old footballer for his team by forcefully answering two specific questions. “You got it? Yup. Is he your captain? “The other day he was the captain, yes. Let’s hope they solve it, there are several factors”.
Sevilla want Gattoni
In the midst of all this conflict over the renewal or not of Federico Gattoni with San Lorenzo, an offer has arisen that could complicate things. It is that last week there was an alleged interest from Sevilla who, according to what was stated, would have offered a million and a half dollars to buy him. However, an official offer appeared only this Monday, but for only 1,200,000 euros gross.
In the midst of a hot climate due to their premature journey, they didn’t even hesitate in Boedo: They rejected the offer, even running the risk of him being free in the middle of the year. To make matters worse, as Olé has discovered, Sevilla are ruling out the possibility of signing Gattoni in this break and are even denying that the club has made an offer
