The player’s agent, Edgardo Lasalvia, expressed his frustration with América’s handling of the situation in an interview with ESPN. He argued the club “should have renewed him earlier and not just 10 months before the contract expires, since in four months the player could sign a pre-contract and América would receive no money.”
Even so, Lasalvia dismissed that possibility, stressing, “This is not our way; we have always been grateful to the clubs that open their doors to us.”
