Durcesio Mello, president of Botafogo, assured that the central defense will not reach the Cement Machine
MEXICO CITY – Botafogo’s central defender, Kanu, “Will Not Arrive” at Blue Cross, Stated the president of the ‘Fogão’, Durcesio Mello.
In a brief response, Mello was direct in answering ESPN Digital that Kanu, a 23-year-old defender, “will not reach Blue Cross“.
Without specifying the reasons, the manager was clear, clarifying the versions by Brazilian journalists, who had speculated that the cement board did not respond within the agreed deadline and therefore the negotiations had broken down.
As it transpired, Blue Cross he had to respond last Friday to Botafogo’s counter-offer and as he did not, the player was called up and used as a starter the previous Sunday, in the Classic against Fluminense, who finished 2-0 in favor of this last.
According to different versions, Botafogo’s intention was for the Celestial Machine to pay $ 3.2 million for the purchase option, in the middle of the year, a period that the player’s loan had to last.
The other possibility was to pay 4 billion if they decided to stay with Kanu for good, until next December.
The above would obviously not have liked Jaume Ordiales, Since the aim of the New Directive is to spend as little as possible and preferably, to obtain loans or exchanges.
It should be noted that from the beginning, this possible transfer was difficult, due precisely to the time of ‘savings’ that lives Blue Cross.
