Colorado direction tries to anticipate arrival of Aránguiz, but hears no

Updated at 8:25 pm

Inter made a new attempt to get Charles Aránguiz released from his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. However, the German club again rejected the Colorado claim. The Chilean was announced to be hired via pre-contract and arrives in Porto Alegre in July.

Colorado, however, requested immediate release so that he could be integrated into the roster, but without success. After an initial refusal and the official announcement of the agreement, Inter has tried, in recent days, a new card. However, Leverkusen’s stance has not changed.

The claim of the Europeans is that the player is important, even if he is not acting. With no hopes, it remains for the Brazilian club to wait for the next transfer window to register the Chilean.

The effort to anticipate the arrival of Aránguiz reinforces the difficulty found by management in closing the group with the hiring of a defensive midfielder. Even with the reinforcement of Decks, the plan is to have one more alternative in the sector as soon as possible. Inter even negotiated with Richard Rios, from Guarani, but withdrew after considering the Campinas team’s request too high.

Meanwhile, steering may be handling the output of another steering wheel. Midfielder Johnny would have received a new attack from Real Betis. The Spaniards, as well as some Italian clubs, have already made a first contact to remove the young player from Beira-Rio. As Colorado owns 100% of the athlete’s economic rights, any proposal above € 6 million (R $ 32.8 million) can take the 21-year-old player.

With consecutive call-ups for the US national team, Johnny was born in New Jersey, but came to Criciúma when he was young. At Beira-Rio since he was 13, the defensive midfielder has always been favorably viewed by the club’s youth teams. Management does not confirm any survey by the player, but a proposal close to the figure desired by management should lead to Johnny’s departure.

This Tuesday, the group received time off and will reappear this Wednesday, resuming preparation for the game with Esportivo, this Saturday, at 4:30 pm, in Beira-Rio. The tendency is for Mano Menezes to preserve some athletes. Even he himself will not lead the team, as he is suspended for the third yellow card. Auxiliary Sidmei Lobo will be the coach at the edge of the pitch. Who should make his debut is goalkeeper John.
