Christmas Eve acquired a tone of farewell to the Basque people. Cruz-Maltino reported this morning (24) that midfielder Martín Benítez will not remain at the club. Loaned by Independiente, from Argentina, the bond will not be renewed.
With a calf injury, the Argentine is out of the game with Atlético-PR, on Sunday, for the Brazilian Championship, at the Arena da Baixada, and he no longer wears the São Januário team jersey.
In addition to Benítez, Vasco also leaves defender Breno, left-back Ramón and midfielder Fellipe Bastos, who have contracts that now end at the end of the year and will not be extended.
The president-elect Jorge Salgado indicated that Independiente was inflexible in renewing the shirt tie 10, at least, until the end of the Brazilian and that he only agreed to sell it for the amount of the fine: US $ 4 million (about R $ 20 million ).
“For my part, it is not a closed case. I spoke with the businessman, I gave him the position of Vasco. It seems that FIFA lowered a recommendation yesterday or the day before that indicates that contracts should be extended until the end of the championships. Vasco is interested in staying with Benítez. He said he wanted the extension until the end of the championship and, yes, we would make our proposal, but it seems that the president of the club, according to the businessman, is completely inflexible in wanting to resolve the issue until the end of the year. I can’t solve it until the end of the year. I had the goodwill of Benítez, the businessman and the president to extend it until February, but it seems that I am not going to achieve it, so I have to live with that. with reality, “Salgado said in an interview with ESPN yesterday (23).
Benítez had previously published a farewell photo on a social network. As a caption for the image, he used a heart and a crying doll.
The agenda was one of the pending issues in this transition of power in Vasco. Alexandre Campello, the current president, came to show optimism about a definitive end in a post made early last month, in the face of the mess that became the club’s choice. With the uncertainty about the new representative – the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro (TJ-RJ) decided on the 17th – the talks did not develop as expected.
Important this season, the midfielder fell in favor of the fans and showed a desire to stay on the hill. However, the securities involved in the negotiations caused fear, as the club is going through a financial crisis.
See Vasco’s note in its entirety:
“Vasco da Gama reports that defender Breno, left-back Ramón and midfielder Fellipe Bastos will not renew their contracts after the end of the relationship. Neither will midfielder Martín Benítez stay for not renewing his transfer bond. The Argentine will not play the game against Atlético Paranaense because he has not recovered from the trauma to his calf.
The Club appreciates the commitment and commitment of the athletes, who demonstrated a strong identification with the Cruzmaltina jersey. Vasco wishes luck and success to all those who follow their respective careers. “
