Kanu’s arrival at the Blue Cross was practically a fact. This Friday, the Brazilian defender said goodbye to his teammates and technical staff at Botafogo and had the trip to Mexico City ready. The player would become the first celestial signing for the Guard1anes 2021 MX League tournament.
However, at the last minute, negotiations between the two clubs stalled and it is not certain that Kanu will be able to wear the cement jersey for the next few weeks., Although the one-year loan with option to purchase was signed, and also the figures: $ 3.2 million by mid-2021 and 4 MDD by the end of the year.
Moreover, everything indicates that the Brazilian defender will be able to say goodbye to Botafogo inside the court, as he returned to the concentration with Fogão and would face Fluminense this Sunday, January 24 at 5:30 pm (Central Mexico time).
The problems between the two clubs have to do with the payment terms of the eventual final purchase of Kanu: Blue Cross would not immediately pay the $ 400,000 because Botafogo imposed clauses that do not fit in Mexico, so they would have to go into talks again.
The Lince newspaper predicted that “At first, Kanu didn’t go into the game because of the negotiation. With so much uncertainty, the defender wants to take advantage of the gap to help Botafogo until the last minute. However, the presence of the athlete against Fluminense is not guaranteed: even with the will of the defense, the board may choose to pardon to avoid a possible injury and, consequently, the end of the negotiation “.
It has the benefit of the doubt
