Rodrigo Herrera will be the new signing for Newell’s, while Carlos González will continue his career at Olimpia of Paraguay after becoming a free agent.
The club will buy 80% of Herrera’s transfer rights from Defensa y Justicia. The midfielder will arrive in Rosario in the next few hours to undergo medical exams and, if there are no issues, will sign a three-year contract with the Lepra.
Meanwhile, the departure of Carlos González has been confirmed. Newell’s decided not to exercise the $1.5 million purchase option for 50% of his transfer rights, so the forward is now a free agent and will become a new player for Olimpia.
With these developments, the rojinegro team is starting to shape its squad for the upcoming season, adding a piece to the midfield and freeing up a spot in attack.
