Independiente's efforts to nurture the 'new Sergio Aguero' have been placed in doubt, after the father of the Manchester City star affirmed that he was considering removing Kun's two brothers from the club's youth set-up.
The 23-year-old, who is an idol in the red half of Avellaneda after starring as a teenager for the Argentine giants, was instrumental in gaining a place for his two brothers, Mauricio and Gaston del Castillo, in the academy of his former club. The pair have been training with the Rojo for two years.
Speaking on Friday, however, family patriarch Leonel del Castillo explained that, if he did not receive a more favourable financial package for his sons, he would take them elsewhere.
"I did say something like that to [Independiente president Javier] Cantero. It is because of the distance from home to where the boys train. If they do not give me a percentage of their playing rights I will take them to a closer team, like Platense, Tigre or Velez," Leonel affirmed to La Red.
"They have told me for a while that they were going to sign away a percentage of each player to me. In the youth teams there are lots of kids who have a percentage, why not me?
"If I don't get it, I'm taking them to a closer team."
When asked, Cantero revealed that Del Castillo had asked for 25 per cent of each player's contract and confirmed that the decision would be discussed amongst the directors.
Aguero himself, meanwhile, is reported to have contacted his father from Manchester and requested he leave his siblings with the Rojo, and to lower the tone of his outbursts.
