“I’m still betting on Jorge Carrascal since I think there is one more chance. We’ll see if he’s right or not. I don’t know if you paid attention, but today every time I caught the ball, people stopped. How many players are there in the world that generate that?” said Marcelo Gallardo, River’s coach, after a recent friendly match between the “Millionaire” team against Platense.
That was just a few weeks ago, and although everything seemed to indicate that the talented Colombian was going to stay to fight against players of the stature of Juan Fernando Quintero and Essequiel Barcobrand new reinforcements, now the story is about to turn around, to the surprise of “Muñeco” himself.
Is that CSKA Moscow (Russia)who already tried to hire him in another transfer window, offered a loan with a charge of around 300 thousand euros and a purchase obligation of up to 80 percent of its filein case of fulfilling some objectives (playing a certain amount of matches, for example), for about 6 million of that currency: the operation is advanced, about to close.
In this way, the River Plate club would release a foreign quota and could analyze the possibility of adding an attacker, before the confirmed departure from June of Julián Álvarez to Manchester City in England.
