The Millionaire has begun negotiations to purchase 50% of the Colombian defender's rights, in a deal being handled cautiously due to the institutional context of the Cyclone.
River has started to move in the market, and one of the names on the list is Jhohan Romaña. The club from Núñez is negotiating with San Lorenzo for the purchase of 50% of the Colombian central defender's transfer rights, a deal that has already had formal contacts between the parties.
The talks are advanced both with the player's entourage and with the Cyclone's management. The negotiation is being carried out by Mariano Barnao, a usual intermediary in this type of operation, aiming for the Millionaire to acquire half of the defender's rights, one of the targets to strengthen the defense for the upcoming season.
Nevertheless, in Núñez, they are handling the matter cautiously. The main point of concern is not the player or his agent, but the complex institutional situation that the blue and red club is going through and the uncertainty surrounding the leadership headed by Marcelo Moretti. This context forces La Banda to proceed with caution, even though the interest is genuine.
Amid the negotiations, Romaña also left a message that did not go unnoticed. In recent hours, the Colombian defender posted a story on his Instagram account with the phrase “Everything passes,” accompanied by a thoughtful image of himself. A brief but suggestive post that fueled interpretations in a context of decisions and reinforced the idea that his future might be far from Boedo.
Romaña, currently performing well at San Lorenzo, appears as an alternative that fits the profile sought by Marcelo Gallardo and River's coaching staff: a young defender with experience in Argentine football and room for growth. As conversations continue, both clubs are waiting for the managerial landscape to clear up to determine whether the negotiation can be finalized or if it will have to wait.
