The Pachuca group showed its strong interest a few days ago in this defender that emerged from the quarry of Diablo che Accumulate 119 games in red and one goal. The negotiation began with an initial offer of two million dollars which was then improved and was successful with the management of Avellaneda’s cadres because he urgently needs money to be able to pay the enormous debt with America that he has inhibited.

This is about 5.7 million of the North American currency. With what enters through Barreto (if his transfer ends up being sealed) plus the proceeds from the collection of fans led by Santiago Maratea (he has more than 800 million pesos) the amount would be covered.

Barreto has not played for 15 days due to a sprained left ankle and is anxiously waiting to know if he will still wear red or not. Missing? Resolve tax issues that would be absorbed equally by both parties, the details of the payment method and the option to purchase the remaining 30 percent (that would be $500,000).

Another lawsuit against Red

Talleres sued Independiente before the Lega Professionisti and before the CAS (Superior Arbitration Court) for a large debt by the pass of Jonathan Menéndez, transfer made in 2018. The total amount requested amounts to 650,000 dollars with interest and fines included.
