Within hours of the resumption of Liga Professionalin Racing They are not going through the calmest days ahead of their debut. The thing is that the club runs the risk of losing none other than its top scorer and figure, Adrian Wonderful Martínezin the face of a possible conflict at the door that arises against the leadership due to non-compliance with a salary increase and the recent appearance of a million-dollar offer from the other side of the world, as the third party in contention.
Maravilla arrived at Racing at the beginning of the year from the Institute to reinforce the academic attack. And he completely exceeded expectations. Based on pure goals, he alone needed a semester to become one of the people most responsible for the team’s performance. Gustavo Costas and figure of Argentine soccer. A total of 20 goals in 25 games were the abysmal numbers that the striker has 32 years in the year.
Under the context of his outstanding performance, Maravilla considered it appropriate to request a salary increase during the Copa América stoppage. However, as he found out Clarionfrom the Racing leadership are not willing to comply with the player’s request, beyond the excellent moment it is going through. They consider that the contract signed just six months ago must be fulfilled and that it is too early to reach a new agreement.
And among so many disagreements that raise the temperature of the negotiations, from the outside they would have focused on the scorer. In the last hours, it emerged that the chinese football he would have his eyes on the scorer.
According to what they say from the player’s circle, they would have received a verbal offer of 8 million dollars, with taxes included, to be paid in installments for 100% of the token. A tempting offer, considering the age of the player.
But the most important factor goes elsewhere: to Maravilla They would offer him a contract that would quintuple what he earns in Argentina, which would mean the chance to make a real economic leap. However, taking into account the conflict that is growing more and more with the player, Racing rejects the information and will confirm to Clarín that they consider it as a maneuver by Martínez to pressure the leaders to get the increase he so desires.
At the Academy they are waiting for the offer to become formal to take action on the matter. At the moment, he only releases his figure for the amount of his clause, which is 9 million dollars.
Racing will return to the ring this Saturday from 5pm in front of Godoy Cruz, in Avellaneda. It will be a matter of time to see if Maravilla continues to demand his increase based on goals.
