FNX Magokiler Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 The proximity to a new transfer market in Argentina has the latent possibility of a greater flight of talents to Europe. Although the League Cup has not yet ended, several teams are beginning to turn their gaze to this country and the Premier League threatens to take one of the diamonds in the rough generated in the Vélez Sarsfield Lower School. Fortín, which is seriously committed to relegation in the final stretch of the championship, could lose Santiago Castro in the coming weeks because the English newspaper The Sun revealed Brentford's negotiations to retain the center forward's services. Bee authorities were in South America during the past week. “They want to make a deal,” the newspaper stated. The media describes Castro as a “wunderkind” chosen as a possible replacement for Ivan Toney, the team's figure who has remained away from the field since last May due to an eight-month ban after being guilty of 262 violations of rule E8, whose application makes it impossible for footballers to bet on other matches. In this sense, the morning newspaper delved into his information: "Brentford hopes to acquire the services of the Argentine star in an ambitious operation." Although the amounts of the offer were not specified, the 19-year-old attacker has a contract until December 31, 2025 with the Velez entity. The youngster who emerged from the quarry has played 63 games with eight goals and two assists. The main obstacle for the operation to come to fruition at the end of the year and avoid its postponement until mid-2024 is located in the future of the English player. Toney would be in the sights of Arsenal and Chelsea to be a reinforcement in the coming months, but a source close to him told The Sun a different version about a possible departure in the short term: “Many people assume that Ivan will leave later Christmas, but no agreement has been closed and nothing has been decided.” “He is undecided about his future. “Brentford has supported him and the club has been brilliant,” the testimony continued. And he added: “A part of him wants to help them, starting in January and scoring the goals that ensure they stay in the Premier League.” Likewise, Brentford remains far from the red zone. They are in 11th place with 16 points, 4 behind the last team (Newcastle) that qualifies for an international cup. This version could delay the negotiations for the arrival of Santiago Castro for six more months: “There are many clubs interested in Iván, but his objective, for now, is to return to the Brentford playing fields and do things well for his coach. Thomas Frank, with whom he feels he has a great debt to settle. The same can be said for the fans.” https://www.infobae.com/deportes/2023/11/19/una-de-las-promesas-del-futbol-argentino-esta-en-la-mira-de-un-club-de-la-premier-league/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
