Tagle and sale of Kuscevic: “It is a paradigmatic example of what we want to achieve”

Earlier in the week, Universidad de Chile announced that midfielder Luis Rojas had an agreement in principle with a Serie A club from Italy, despite being just 18 years old and having very few First Division games. A reality totally opposite to that of Benjamín Kuscevic (24) at the Catholic University, where they say they are proud. The crusaders have advanced negotiations with Dinamo Zagreb for the sale of the defender, who debuted in 2015 in the foothills, where he won four First Division titles and two Super Cup.

“If the sale goes through, it’s like a paradigmatic example of what we want to achieve: a player trained at home, who plays here for several years, very identified and who leaves with six titles. It makes us very proud “said Juan Tagle, president of Cruzados.

Of course, the operation is not yet closed: “We are in a fairly advanced conversation with Dinamo Zagreb, but we have not signed anything. We authorized Benjamin to travel to Croatia yesterday. As soon as it is formalized, if we manage to close the negotiation as we expect it to happen, we will announce it. In that sense, we are responsible for announcing things when they are formalized and not before ”.

“If it happens, as we think is the most reasonable thing to do, we are very satisfied with it, especially with the player’s desire to project his career in Europe. Hopefully we can announce it soon ”, he added.

The lawyer did not want to give details of the transfer, but assured that Católica will keep a percentage of Kuscevic’s pass before a new transfer. “We keep a stake in a future sale of the player, if the business is closed. We believe that it is something that may happen, because you go to a club that has a tradition of selling to other markets in Europe and that traditionally participates in the Champions League. Without a doubt, it is a very attractive club as a showcase ”, he pointed out.

With regard to an eventual replacement of the defender, this option is not considered at this time. “For now it is not possible to replace the player. According to what was approved by the Council of Presidents, it has to be at the end of the first round. We believe that it is a position that is well covered. There are Lanaro, Huerta and Asta-Buruaga. In addition, we have players like Gato Silva and Parot who can play as center-backs. There is also Carlos Salomón, who is signing a professional contract. For now we are calm, but always evaluating alternatives “, he closed.
