San Lorenzo Stance on Jhohan Romaña After Rejecting River’s Initial Offer
River Plate has been actively negotiating in the transfer market, with Jhohan Romaña emerging as a key target. Coach Marcelo Gallardo aims to strengthen his defense by adding the San Lorenzo player to the squad. Recent developments indicate that discussions are ongoing, with River seeking to reach an agreement.
San Lorenzo’s Position on Jhohan Romaña
Recently, River Plate made its first offer for Romaña, proposing $2 million for 50% of the player’s rights. Despite San Lorenzo’s need to sell, this initial bid was rejected, though the club remains open to further negotiations.
San Lorenzo clarified its stance on the Colombian defender, stating that while they are willing to sell Romaña, they prefer to offload at least 80% of his rights. The initial attempt by River failed to meet this requirement, which has led to the current stalemate.
River’s Next Steps
- Initial Offer: $2 million for 50% of Romaña’s rights
- San Lorenzo’s Requirement: At least 80% of the player’s rights
- Expected New Offer: Estimated between $3.5 million and $4 million
With these conditions established, River Plate must decide how much to increase their offer. The club’s management is now aware that a higher bid will be necessary to secure a larger portion of Romaña’s rights.
Training Updates
As negotiations continue, Jhohan Romaña was absent from San Lorenzo’s training sessions. Despite some players missing practice, the club confirmed that Romaña had permission to be away on that Saturday. He is expected to rejoin the training squad in the coming days.
With both clubs engaged in dialogue, fans are eager for a resolution soon. The next developments in this transfer saga could greatly influence both teams as the season approaches.
