Forward comments on interest and leaves future open

Asked about the presence of a Fluminense scout, the player said he was unaware, but acknowledged that performances in big matches increase visibility.

— Honestly, I didn't know. These games, the whole continent is watching, including people from abroad, so you end up being in everyone's sights and, when you do well, options start to appear — he said in an interview with the F12 program on ESPN Argentina.

Despite this, the forward emphasized that he is focused on Lanús, but admitted that a transfer could happen.

— I am happy here. I know the club needs to sell, the president said so, and if something comes up, we will talk or not. I am calm and happy here and, above all, focused on the return leg, because we want to be champions — he added.

European clubs are also watching

In addition to Fluminense, Eintracht Frankfurt also inquired about the forward's situation during the last European transfer window. However, the German club only showed interest in a loan, while Lanús made it clear that they are only willing to negotiate the player in a permanent deal.

The presence of a Fluminense scout reinforces the club's movement in the market in search of a striker, the board's priority in this window.
