Los Tuzos had already followed the player but at no time had they opened negotiations with River due to the high value of the Venezuelan’s release clause. (6 million dollars), but now having the pass in their possession, both parties were able to advance in the negotiation.

Although at one point the option of him joining Real Oviedo in the Spanish second division was considered, Salomón will finally join the team that finished the last Liga MX in 11th place, out of the rankings playoffs, in a negotiation that was resolved in a very short time. time.

As, Rondón will sign with Pachuca for two seasons, thus sealing a bond with an extension similar to the one he had in River (his contract was extended until December 2025). Note that your arrival will be free.
