The conflict concerned the original contract, which expires in the last month of this year. In this context, the player’s representative asked for an improvement in the defender’s salary which the club deemed out of budget.

The alternative proposed was, then, that the footballer be sold for too low a figure, according to the sales prospects they have in Avellaneda. The result was the loss of the football player from the professional team: they told Stilitano not to take this into account until further notice.

The DT then spoke to the player in the prelude to training last Thursday and warned him that his place would be taken Joachim Lasuswho was owner and captain against Vélez, since Iván Marcone could not wear the tape for the return from a expulsion.

However, this Wednesday afternoon, the representative Adrián Palma and the management have reached a point of understanding that they will close in the next few hours and which extends the terms of the contract for another year: Barreto will be a red player until December 2024.

The agreement was verbal and both the club and the player did “major economic efforts” to reach figures that would not put them at risk “the heritage of the institution”according to the graphs of the sources consulted by clarion. The coaching staff has already included him in the work schedule for the meeting with Defense and Justice on Sunday at 21:30 at the Libertadores de América Enrique Bochini.

Barreto had started the tournament as a starter: he remained in central defense against Talleres and Platense for the first and second rounds, but when the conflict escalated things changed.

The defender was removed from the squad last week and didn’t concentrate for the final match against Vélez. The chances that the nationalized Paraguayan Argentine could start are high, given that the defensive variants are scarce due to a series of injuries that prevent Stilitano from setting up the last line, without emergencies.

Independiente started winning in Córdoba, but their performance in the following dates declined: they lost against Platense in Avellaneda and drew 0-0 against Vélez. Against Defense and Justice will have the opportunity to get back on track, Sunday at 21.30.
