Athletico gets closer to signing striker Mastriani

O Athletico is closer to closing the signing of the striker Mastriani, 30 years. Club and athlete have been on good terms for a few days, but the America-MG has made negotiation difficult.

After an initial refusal from Coelho, Furacão insisted and the deal went ahead. Contacts have lasted more than 15 days. The good relationship between presidents Mario Celso Petraglia and Marcos Salum has been fundamental in the negotiations. The information was initially released by Tretis portal and confirmed by the report.

In contact with UmDois Esportes, the president of the Minas Gerais club said that he is not yet negotiating the striker, but that “there is a conversation, and Athletico has priority”. To complete the signing, Furacão would be willing to loan players to América-MG – defender Luan Patrick is one of the names.

In the negotiation, Athletico would be willing to pay US$2 million (R$9.7 million) to have the center forward, who has a contract with Coelho until 2025. Despite the club’s relegation in the Brasileirão, Mastriani stood out in the season with 21 goals and one assist in 42 games.

Revealed by CA Cerro, from Uruguay, Mastriani has also worked for Crotone (Italy), ND Gorica (Slovenia), Olhanense (Portugal), Rentistas (Uruguay), Tampico Madero (Mexico), Alebrijes (Mexico), Sud América (Uruguay) , Boston River (Uruguay), Guayaquil City (Ecuador) and Barcelona (Ecuador).
