On Tuesday night Tulio Gómez, América de Cali’s largest shareholder, had reached an agreement with Andrés ‘Manga’ Escobar to join the institution in the 2020 Liga and Copa Libertadores, but the threats from a sector of the red fans and this Friday his arrival at the Colombian champion would have been ruled out.
The versions indicate that once it was known that Escobar would be the new face of the club, intimidating messages began to reach him, so he himself decided to reverse his decision to wear the red shirt.
Tulio Gómez clarified that if they reached an agreement with ‘Manga’, it would be with a special contract, which would be broken the moment he committed a disciplinary offense.
The footballer said in ‘Smoke Free Zone’ that “they are antecedents that I have earned myself, but for two years I have not had any problem, in Cúcuta my contract ended due to lack of payment. The only way to change this is to let me play in peace and then see the results.
‘Manga’ acknowledged that he had passed the medical examinations in America and in the afternoon he was going to finalize his incorporation. He added about the criticism “it is logical for everything I represent, months ago I was nobody, my arrival is questioned and it is understandable. I had a lot of free time and nobody called me, it is a reason for pride and gratitude that such a great club, after everything that has happened, has noticed me ”.
Apparently, those fans did not see with good eyes the presence of the striker in the squad due to the background he presented in previous teams in which he played and they denied him the possibility of amending. Everything was ready for the squad to swell together with the Peruvian Marco Aldair Rodríguez, who is expected in the capital of Valle to formalize his transfer.
America has not made any official pronouncement in this regard.
