The Millionaire has started negotiations to buy 50% of the rights of the Colombian defender, in a deal that is being handled cautiously due to the institutional context of the Cyclone.
River has begun to move in the market, and one of the names on their 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 led by Mariano Barnao, a usual intermediary in these types of deals, and aims for the Millionaire to acquire half of the defender's rights, one of the targets to strengthen the defense for the upcoming season.
Nonetheless, Núñez is handling the matter with caution. The main concern is not the player or his agent, but the complex institutional situation that the blue and red club is going through and the scenario of uncertainty surrounding the leadership headed by Marcelo Moretti. This context forces La Banda to proceed with prudence, even though the interest is concrete.
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 option 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. While conversations continue, both clubs are waiting for the management situation to clear up to decide if the negotiation can be finalized or if it will have to wait.
