It is worth mentioning that, despite the fact that his departure is for a much smaller amount than he arrived, for only 2 million dollarsthe leadership of the Gang considers that it is a beneficial move for the club since, in six months, the player would have left as a free agent and at least they will be able to obtain financial compensation.
It is said that the coach Mauricio Gallardowho recently returned to River Plate, would have requested the transfer of the Argentine midfielder, due to that was the speed with which the negotiations between the boards were carried out.
