Newell’s: deal agreed for Mazzanti to boost attack at Kudelka’s request | OneFootball

After a misstep at Rojo, the career of the winger with a past at Huracán will continue in the city of Rosario.

The transfer window has already closed, but there are certain clubs that have the possibility of adding one more reinforcement because they parted ways with a player after the transfer period had ended. This happened to Newell’s Old Boys due to the departures of Martín Fernández Figueira and Jherson Mosquera, who both terminated their respective contracts, and now also to Independiente.

After adding Martín Ortega, the right back who became a free agent from Tigre, the Lepra knew there were still two spots available: one for Mosquera and another for Gabriel Arias, who fractured his left fibula and will be out of action for more than four months. For this reason, they moved forward for Walter Mazzantti, who will now wear the Lepra jersey.

The winger who arrived at Independiente from Huracán joins the Rosario team on a loan until the end of the year, which will have a fee of 200,000 dollars and a purchase option for 70% of his rights, in exchange for 3 million US dollars. It’s worth noting that the team from Avellaneda had paid 3.5 million less than a year ago for 100% of his rights.

Mazzantti struggled to adapt to Independiente. In fact, he had very little playing time under Gustavo Quinteros, who did not object when negotiations with Newell’s began. Now, he will reunite with Frank Darío Kudelka, who was his coach at Parque Patricios and managed to get the best out of him.

Boca wanted Walter Mazzantti

Before joining Independiente, the winger born in Labardé was one of the big stories of the transfer market. Just as Boca wanted him, he was also on the radar of Racing. But Huracán never wanted to negotiate with Xeneize. And this was reflected in the amount of money they asked Xeneize for.

When the board led by Juan Román Riquelme asked about the conditions to sign Mazzantti, Globo’s response was blunt: 5 million dollars for the entirety of his rights. However, they sold him to Rojo for 3.5 million.

Walter Mazzantti’s time at Independiente

After 19 matches wearing the Independiente jersey, the career of Walter Mazzantti will continue at Newell’s Old Boys. It’s worth noting that at the club from Avellaneda, he did not score any goals or provide any assists in a total of 849 minutes on the pitch.
