Gallardo said that Beltrán “will return to River yes or yes…”

In what seems like a new round of a tough fight for the world title, like the ones before and for several rounds, coach Marcelo Gallardo himself pressed again from the Mundo River with a topic that directly affects the Mundo Colón and is linked to the forward Lucas Beltran. After last night’s 0-0 and the incredible controversy between the two substitute banks in Florencio Varela, the “Muñeco” went for more and assured that the current “9” of Colón will return “yes or yes” to the entity of Núñez . At the same time, after going 0-0 after 47 games, the “Millo” fans implored on social networks: “Bring a 9”.

As soon as the tie against Defense and Justice ended, the current “Emperor” of River Plate, Marcelo Gallardo, pressed again from the statements he gave at a press conference to the national media: “The Beltrán issue is handled by the River leaders with the leaders of Colón, understanding that the player will join us sooner or later”.

In principle, from what El Litoral could find out, this Tuesday, June 7, there will be a second round trip between José Néstor Vignatti (president of Colón) and Matías Patanian (vice president of River). “If Vignatti comes to the Federal Capital, we will do it face to face; otherwise the idea is to talk on the phone to find a way out.”

Why did Marcelo Gallardo say what he said and ensure that Lucas Beltrán will return to River? … Why did the “Muñeco”, when he spoke of the “9” that is in Colón, use the figure of “sooner or later” to locate the time of Lucas Beltrán’s return to the “millionaire” camp? From what he learned, Gallardo has the information that “River will execute the player’s recovery clause, no matter what happens.” In other words: if the leaders of the red band fail to “negotiate”, on June 30 they will have Lucas Beltrán back with the River shirt.

“The idea is to dialogue and find a way out; there has been a very good relationship between the two leaderships for years. Not to mention the relationship of affection and respect between Brito and Vignatti, the two presidents. Likewise, there is a decision made in the Mundo River : It doesn’t matter that Colón registers him on the list in good faith for the Copa Libertadores, plays only one game against Talleres and can no longer play the same tournament for River due to regulatory issues, what is clear is that the political decision was made to pick up the player”, they say in the vicinity of the Monumental.

This strategy confirmed by River is what justifies Marcelo Gallardo’s phrase: “The player will join us sooner or later.” As for that “sooner or later” it is clear. If it is “late”, it will be June 30, which is from the same moment that the clause in favor of River hits.

And if it’s “early”, what do you mean? Obviously before that date (June 30), remembering that Colón has four more games left for the Argentine tournament and that first leg against Talleres de Córdoba for the Conmebol tournament.

“We believe in River that Vignatti will sit down to negotiate once the classic against Unión on the Colón field is over on Sunday. When that date passes, we will reach an agreement yes or yes; I have no doubts”, they affirm in the millionaire aisles

The concrete thing is that the first strong card was played last week by José Vignatti himself face to face with Patanian: “Until the 30th he stays in Colón, we are going to enter him in the Copa Libertadores de América and he is going to play against Talleres”. The second strong card was played by River: “Even if they sign him up, on June 30 he returns to River.”

To make matters worse, beyond being both in the second round of Libertadores, destiny wants that on Wednesday, June 15, the faces will be seen from 7:00 p.m. in the Elephant Cemetery. For Colón, it will be the “post-clásico”, three days after playing against Unión before his people. In other words, in the midst of the tug of war over Lucas Beltrán, an exciting Colón-River in Santa Fe is coming in a handful of days, with the arrival of Marcelo Gallardo, Matías Patanian and company.

As is known, a year ago, Eduardo Rodrigo Domínguez (who shares the same FIFA agent with Gallardo: Juan Luis Berros) asked “Muñeco” for a player for Colón. At that moment, the names of Lucas Beltrán and Benjamin Rollheiser came up, something that was no coincidence: River, with the excuse of lending one of them, made sure to open and extend the contract. What happened happened: Beltrán came to Colón (he signed) and Rollheiser was almost hanged by the decision of “Millo”.

At the time of transferring it to Sabalero, this repechage clause was included for Lucas Beltrán, which is valid from June 30 of this year with a recognition of 5 (five) percent in favor of Colón in the event of a sale before August of next year (2023).

If Colón registers him the same and River repechages him on June 30, both are harmed, with the boy in the middle. In the case of River, he will not be able to use it in the Copa Libertadores; In the case of Colón, he will be left without a good striker for the remaining 21 dates of the local championship and will not be able to play the revenge match for the Conmebol tournament either.

Club Atlético Colón, through its press department, released the weekly training diagram prior to Sunday’s classic, at 1 pm, against Unión and at the Los Elefantes Cemetery.

In principle, by decision of the technical staff, the sabalero professional team will train “every day at the sabalero venue at 10 in the morning.” Even the same Saturday is announced: “Training 10 hours, departure to the hotel.”

In addition, the day of the derby (Sunday 12 at 13), they are summoned to the sabalero property and from 9 “the players not summoned for the classic against Union.”
