That River sells its players badly is something that is being said with increasing force in the Argentine football environment. On the contrary, de Boca ensures that he does fabulous business. And there is something true in the sentences because this Saturday the exits of the Colombians Juan Fernando Quintero and Jorge Carrascal were very advanced, which would leave the Núñez club less money than it could enter Boca if it sells to Esteban Andrada, for example . Yes, two talented attacking midfielders would report less earnings than one goalkeeper.

River fans were the first to shout to the sky on social media before the imminent departures of Quintero to Shenzhen in China and Carrascal to CSKA in Moscow. They believe that the team led by Marcelo Gallardo will be impoverished and, above all, in exchange for little money.

In addition, something unique would happen with Carrascal: the millionaire cast would sell it to an investor group of Arab capital and they would then place it in CSKA. Why doesn't River negotiate directly with the Russian club, the same one that acquired Adolfo Gaich a month ago?

Quintero, author - perhaps - of the most important goal in the history of Núñez's club, will continue his career in China for 7,500,000 euros clean for River. Here it is worth highlighting the attitude of Juanfer , who canceled a debt of just over a million dollars that the club owes him. But you have to refine the pencil a little more before calculating the final figure. And it is that River still owes a fee of 1,300,000 euros to Porto for the pass of the 27-year-old Colombian. Thus, the millionaire treasury will receive a net 6,200,000 euros.

With Carrascal something similar happens: he would leave in exchange for 7 million euros clean, but River still owes 2,500,000 of the European currency to Karpaty Lviv, from Ukraine, for his pass. The final figure would be 4,500,000 for the record of the hitch born in Cartagena 22 years ago, one of the youth with the greatest projection in South America.

Although for now it was not a rumor, in recent days it emerged that Rome of Italy would be willing to pay 12 million euros for Esteban Andrada, a 29-year-old goalkeeper. And the real sum of what the sales of Quintero and Carrascal would leave to River stands at 10,700,000 euros. Another significant fact: in 2018 he paid more than 13 million dollars for Lucas Pratto.

Hello German, a shame these and other sales made by the club. Gallardo saves the leadership because without a doubt they sell very badly, champion of everything and sold their figures at an offer price, Pity, Pala, Juanfer and not to mention those who left without leaving anything, just because of the debt. Aprz !!

That we have left 3 and a half does not mean that we have to give it away again, Juanfer is a talent from all sides, it is worth at least 20 million in a club with a stable economy

no matter how little money it is, juanfer's is not a bad sale, he was not an important player in Gallardo's scheme, he was a player d 2nd time, scooco's hurt me more

Juanfer + Carrascal = less than Balerdi. You are the worst thing that I saw in my life negotiating @RodolfoDonofrio, I swear I think and I can't find a single president of ours who would have sold SO badly being champion of everything.

In any case, it should be clarified that Rodolfo D'Onofrio and his peers on the Board of Directors have not yet made a public statement, so the possible sales and amounts are journalistic information that comes from the club itself or from the intimate circles of the footballers. It happens in River, in Boca and in the rest of the clubs: it is usually difficult to find the real figures of the operations.

Thus, River will get rid of two of its most talented footballers and the club will have just over 10 million euros clean. Boca, at the same time, will pocket 5 million dollars for the transfer of Emmanuel Reynoso to Minnesota. Of Bebelo seems a good sale for a striker who is not usually a starter. To that could be added the 10 million that Ajax paid for Lisandro Magallán and the 17 that Borussia Dortmund paid for the youthful Leandro Balerdi. Two big ones, with different optics in the international market.
