Carlos Palacios does not appear in Colo Colo training this Friday. The attacker also deletes all traces of his Instagram account, where he usually shares images and videos. Later he will explain, through a statement in a story on the same platform, that the decision was not related to a possible anger with the Cacique, who an hour earlier rejected a million dollar offer from Boca Juniors. for their services. The Argentine put US$ 4.8 million on the table to maintain progress, a fundamental piece in the team that Jorge Almirón managed to install in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores and which fights neck and neck with the University of Chile for the top the National Championship.
“If he is embarrassed, that is his problem, but he cannot forget that he is in the National Team thanks to his performances in Colo Colo.“, they answer in Macul before they do decisively in the analysis of an operation that is still suspended. The player is deceived by everything: from the possibility of taking the leap, one more considering his time in Brazilian football, to the one who calls him Juan Roman Riquelme, the president of Xeneize and his main football idol.. This Saturday, by the way, the striker took part in the work session before the duel against Everton, although he did not travel to Viña del Mar. In any case, he would be absent due to physical reasons. He left with discomfort in Barranquilla.
This Thursday was a fateful day for Argentine football. By that date, the passport closure in the trans-Andean competition was over. In Macul they point out that Boca wanted to act on that urgency and that there is a fundamental problem to crystallize the operation. The other reason is strictly economic. “The transfer book closed on Thursday, but at the last minute an offer came in that was lower than the exit clause. Later, they raised it a bit, but that’s not the point. The point is that the board of directors must resolve an offer of that size.. The regular one was next Wednesday. An unusual one was scheduled for Monday,” they explain in Macul, referring to a procedure they usually use in the opposite direction: when they hire technical and reinforcement teams.

The development of the operation again has a small margin. As often happens in trans-Andean football, the deadline changed on the fly. “Sdespite the fact that the AFA TMS window was closed on 08/22/2024 to incorporate players from abroad, taking into account that the major foreign leagues will close their registration records on 08/30/2024 and without limiting this intention to transfer of players from outside. or at the local level, the modifications adopted today are transcribed,” reported the entity chaired by Claudio Tapia.

Although Cacique chooses to reserve the specific amounts, it is easy to deduce that if Boca’s highest offer continues to be below the exit clause, that portion is set at at least US$ 5 million. However, even if the move was made at a high volume, Colo Colo must consider costs and benefits. In principle, because he would not receive the full amount: he only has 60 percent of the economic rights to the player..
In that case, In Pedreros they consider how convenient it is to let one of the main figures of the team go, even more considering that they are fighting decisively in the continental competition which they won in 1991, but were not the main characters of the this level. since 2018. And they question, in that sense, What would be the use of investing in signings like Javier Correa, Mauricio Isla and Jonathan Villagra rather than letting a key player like Palacios go?. That position is at odds, in fact, among those who make the decisions in the most popular club in Chile.
A predictable reaction is key: Jorge Almirón’s possible anger. “He doesn’t want us to disempower His team. hang up on us“, they graph.
