Independent: Poblete was unable to sign his renewal and will not play against Platense

Eduardo Domínguez planned to repeat training in his Independiente to face Platense on Monday at the Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium, but he can’t. It is that Gerónimo Poblete was unable to sign the renewal of his contract since Metalist are demanding the payment of compensation of 125 thousand dollars to free him. Is his continuity in danger? The one who could sign his new bond until December 2023 was Juan Cazares.

Everything was given to sign the papers as the numbers with the midfielder were agreed, but at the last moment a monetary barrier appeared. From Avellaneda they ensure that they would not have been able to transfer that money due to “the country’s economic context”, as published in a short statement published on the networks.

“Gerónimo Poblete will renew his bond in the coming days. It is necessary to transfer money to his latest club and it has been delayed taking into account the economic context of the country, pending government resolutions”, was the official explanation based on the restriction of the Central Bank. for issuing foreign currency. The truth is that until this is resolved, Poblete will not be able to play with Rojo.

Now, this opens up the question for the two new faces who underwent a medical examination on Monday: Facundo Ferreyra and Edgar Elizalde. It is that for Chucky the Independiente will have to pay 200 thousand dollars for the loan until December (he has a purchase option of 2.5 million), while for the Uruguayan defender he will have to pay 600 thousand dollars to Pescara for the pass.

“Obviously I am not the same person who started ten years ago, I come here with a lot of enthusiasm and I have more experience. I will try to give my best, physically I did a whole preseason and I trained for a month and a half. I am ready to play. “Ferreyra said as he exited the clinic.

Peñarol loved me too, I’m a fan, but I chose Independiente for sport. I’m a Uruguayan-style defender, to go fast and when you can go out and play, “said Elizalde.
