Weeks go by and Cruz Azul is still unable to finalize a transfer in the Liga MX summer market. The cement team let out important elements such as Pablo Aguilar and Adrián Aldrete, but have not yet managed to land reinforcements for the 2022 Opening. The cement board is still looking for a central defender and a center forward for the next semester. The name of Carlos Rotondi, Defense and Justice player, sounded strong to reach La Noria, but everything indicates that this operation will not be carried out.
According to Argentine journalist César Luis Merlo, the Celeste Machine made an offer for the 25-year-old scorer. Cruz Azul’s proposal amounted to 4 million dollars, however, the Halcón de Varela board rejected it. According to the Transfermarkt portal, the letter from Rotondi, originally from Córdoba, has an approximate value of 3.85 million dollars.
After the refusal of Defense and Justice, the sky-blue team would have desisted from making another effort to add the striker for the Apertura 2022. Since his arrival at the Halcón, in March 2021, Rotondi has found his best version and has exponentially multiplied his value of market.
Cruz Azul urgently needs to hire a striker. Currently the cement team has Santiago Giménez and Iván Morales to cover the position, however, neither of them lived up to expectations.
According to this report, the board headed by Jaime Ordiales gave up hiring Rotondi and will look for other options.
