San Lorenzo: Fernández Mercau is still in conflict and will not play against Talleres

For the second consecutive day, Nicholas Fernandez Mercau He did not train with his teammates in protest because he is pressing for San Lorenzo to accept an offer that his representative brought from German football, but which was rejected by the management as insufficient. The southpaw held out and Ruben Darío Insua left him off the concentrate list to receive Talleres on Monday.

“He told me not to count on him because he had accepted an offer from abroad”the Ciclone technician explained about what the boy who came out of the Boedo club’s inferiors told him.

Who was most emphatic in his position was the leader Sergio Costantino, current secretary of the institute. “This is creating a precedent for the boys to continue to disrespect the San Lorenzo in the future”She said.

And he detailed: “The proposal on Mercau was informal because we don’t need that proposal. We spoke directly with the German team and they told us that if there is something, it will go from club to club, but there is nothing official. . “

What is the difference that triggered the conflict? The player’s representative, Ignacio Vilariño, turned to an offer from Hoffenheim, which was willing to pay 3,200,000 euros gross for 90% of the pass plus another 500,000 in bonuses. From the Boedo club they considered it insufficient.

It all stems from a proposal by Vilariño, who made other reports on the offer of the German club and, with a financial curl that is difficult to discussfound the operation rejected by the club to be six million dollars …

But Vilariño’s calculation is far from correct: his accounts are based on the price of the ticket on the illegal market, which compared to the official price – the one used in this type of transfer and its transfer in pesos – ends up being almost Twice.

“The offer is low. For that amount we will not sell it and if we have to defend the legacy of the club at the risk that the player will not play, we will do it,” said the blue-red coach.

Therefore, the left lane of the team will be occupied by Tomás Silva. The eleven that Insua tried this Sunday are Sebastián Torrico; Agustín Giay, Federico Gattoni, Cristian Zapata, Gastón Hernández, Silva; Ignacio Mendez, Jalil Elias; Ezequiel Cerutti, Adam Bareiro and Nahuel Barrios.

However, the lineup is not yet confirmed. For the first time in its cycle, the Galician he could not anticipate his chosen ones: “We have some players touched so only tomorrow (Monday) we will confirm the eleven to play against Talleres”.
