The dream is dormant. But to make it a reality, economic engineering is needed. And River is willing to put it together. Also: he has already put the offer on the table. And now, he awaits Luis Suárez’s decision.
The desire to see the “Pistolero” with the red band is not a pass market smoke. Nor a fog like the one that was in Buenos Aires in the last few hours. There is a firm intention of the Núñez club to have the Uruguayan forward, an international figure who until recently was Lionel Messi’s teammate in Barcelona. When he left – they actually pushed him to leave – the Catalan club “Lucho” went to Atlético Madrid. And now he is free.
“We made him an offer and we are waiting for the answer,” confirmed a River leader in conversation with Clarione. Ergo, Suárez has not yet turned down the offer. And from their environment they have assured this newspaper that they will evaluate it.
Although from Núñez they have not confirmed an official figure of what Suárez have offered, what they have claimed is that they have done a market valuation and given the high figures they are asking for. Valentino Castellanos (very high in this case, 13 million dollars) e Miguel Borgia ($ 5 million), the idea is to use some of the money River was willing to invest to buy “9”, in a top contract for Suárez. It is worth mentioning that in the summer Núñez offered up to $ 10 million for Castellanos and New York City turned them down.
There may also be advertising contracts in the combo of the offer for Suárez. Anyway, in River they know it’s very difficult. A chimera, in practice. For three reasons: money, family and a medical recommendation.
What plays against your arrival
As for silver, at River they know that no matter how high the offer is, it’s hard to compete with offers from Europe. Suárez has already received formal offers from Real Sociedad in Spain, from an Italian team whose name has not yet been revealed and from Inter Miami in the United States. Meanwhile, his family (wife and three children) want, for now, to stay and live in Europe. And the doctors of the Uruguayan national team advised him to continue in the Old Continent, thinking above all of the World Cup in Qatar, since S.Your physical ailments could be aggravated in South American football, with increased friction and mostly rocky playing fields. Furthermore, treatments for his disorder are more advanced abroad.

In this sense, the Uruguayan Football Federation reported that Suárez will undergo a preventive osteoarticular hygienic treatment on his knees “to better face the second part of the year that will culminate with the World Cup in Qatar”, according to the statement.
For this reason the forward has not been called up for the friendlies of the national team he directs also diego. But they did not operate on it and will not operate on it, according to what those around him said. So, in July he can join any team and at the latest he can be on the pitch by August.
Suárez’s intention is to be active, play and arrive in the best possible way in Qatar, his last World Cup. He hasn’t decided his future yet. He has several offers on the table and one of them is River’s. In Núñez they await him with open arms.
