Valentín Castellanos, the only good option to replace Jorge Carrascal

This time it seems defining: CSKA Moscow (Russia), which had already tried to recruit Jorge Carrascal (River) in another transfer window, offered a loan with a charge of around 300 thousand euros and an obligation to purchase up to 80 percent of its file for about 6 million of that currency, so everything indicates that it will be will take the talented Colombian in the next few hours.

Although River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo had praised him a few weeks ago, taking it for granted that he would count him on his squad for this season, the fact that he did not have assured ownership caused doubts from the footballer himself and from his representative, who quickly presented the offer that is about to materialize.

It is because of this that the questions come out by themselves: Does River need to bring in a replacement immediately? With the players you have brought so far plus what you already had on the squad, will it be enough for you? Do you have to wait until June?

In my opinion, the “Millionaire” should not despair: considering that he already has several players with similar characteristics to Carrascal (Quintero and Barco, brand new reinforcements, to give examples), and also that Gallardo had planned to consider it a “9”, I would only bring in a replacement if he can really rank the squad.
