This time he is serious. Thus they warn it from the bowels of the Boedo club. This time yes, the San Lorenzo leadership already has on the table a real and concrete offer for Adolfo Gaich , its player with the highest sales projection: CSKA Moscow is willing to disburse 8 million euros clean for 90 percent of the pass 21-year-old forward.
After the frustrated negotiation with Bruges of Belgium in January, in San Lorenzo they take seriously this new offer that Marcelo Tinelli has in his possession. In between, they automatically dismissed Atlético Mineiro's gross $ 5 million for half their record. And endless rumors passed that with the wind brought supposed interests of Barcelona, Benfica, Milan, Rome, Nantes, Leeds, Galatasaray ... None materialized in a real way. This time is different.

However, beyond considering that the conditions offered for payment are optimal, the Cyclone managers think that the figure is insufficient. Note: the talks are not over. On the contrary: based on this, the dialogue between the parties was opened and if the Russians manage to get closer to what the Barça entity wants, the pass will be closed.
By present, age and future, Gaich is the player to sell in San Lorenzo . Although they would like to enjoy it longer with the blue and red shirt (he played only 28 games and scored 8 goals), they know that the club needs a strong income in foreign currency to be able to breathe easy. And if this was clear at the beginning of the year, not to mention after the global crisis that unleashed the coronavirus pandemic.
That yes: the context changed and the 15 million dollars that they asked for 100 percent of the scorer of the Selection Sub 20 and Sub 23 seem difficult to reach. That is why they are willing to sit down and listen to proposals for other figures.

Thus, if in the next few hours the parties achieve a rapprochement in numbers, Gaich will emigrate to Russia. In addition, El Ciclón will keep 10 percent to ensure an extra income in the future for this striker who exploited more from the hand of Fernando Batista in the youth team.
He made 3 goals in nine games in the South American Sub 20, nailed 3 shouts in the four matches he played in the last World Cup in the category, celebrated 3 goals in four games in L'Alcudia and made one in five games in the Pre-Olympic that he won the national set. In addition, he made his debut in the Mayor when entering the second half of the international friendly with Mexico in September 2019.
Faced with this possible departure, added to the losses of Adam Bareiro (his loan ended and he has already said goodbye), Nicolás Fernández (ruptured cruciate ligament of the knee) and Alexander Díaz (operated on a toe), in San Lorenzo they moved to reinforce the attack: they have already secured a loan for a year from Jonathan Herrera (last step through Central Córdoba) and are very close to adding Franco Di Santo (free from Atlético Mineiro).
