The conflict was finally unraveled and
the Romero brothers will leave San Lorenzo:
there is a principle of agreement between the Boedo club leadership and that inseparable pair that make up Angel and Oscar, who will finally leave.
Paolo Montero's team will lose their two great figures, but they had no other choice: there seemed to be no way out due to the difficult economic situation the club is going through.
The arrangement arrived in the afternoon of this Saturday and will have the
resignation
by the twins of a year of contract, the one they had left to fulfill.
San Lorenzo, for its part, promised to pay them the debt that it has with them to this day:
one million dollars
, to be paid in 10 installments over the next year.
For the club, beyond the sporting and economic loss (it had invested four million dollars in the Romeros and will not even get it back), this exit is also a way to alleviate accounts since they are
two of the main contracts
it had the professional staff.
Thus, the Romeros will rescind and leave the San Lorenzo club free, so they can then negotiate with any other team that wants to have them.
Will they continue with the idea of
playing together
on the team that wants to hire them?

For now, the players, who were marginalized from the squad waiting for a resolution of a conflict that had been escalating in recent times (the players' lawyer and the president of the
Cyclone
, Horacio Arreceygor,
were involved in the negotiations
), They will travel to Paraguay this Sunday to join the national team
and will no longer return to Argentina.
And this is not simply metaphorical, because although, as mentioned, they will be available to the multiple offers that come to them, they will have to refrain from playing on albiceleste soil.
As Clarín learned, in the arrangement the players accepted the inclusion of
a clause that will prevent them from signing with another club in the country
for at least one season.
In the last hours, the interest that appeared from
Libertad from Paraguay was joined by Corinthians from Brazil.
Was Boca a possibility until the decision to include that impediment?
The leadership liked the striker and less than two months ago both were offered to the club, but the situation did not go beyond that since at the moment there were no firm intentions of hiring him.
The conflict between the players and the leadership had exploded this last week, when the Paraguayans issued
a public statement in which they treated
the president and manager,
Mauro Cetto
,
as "liars"
.

In the message, the Romeros clarified that "they had never asked to leave San Lorenzo" but that "it was the leaders" who asked them to find a club due
to the economic impossibility of complying
with the signed agreement.
In a conversation held before the game with Talleres in Córdoba, on Monday 16, Arreceygor and Cetto proposed
a salary renegotiation and the extension of the link
to avoid that at the end of this year they could leave without charge.
However
, everything was precipitated
by the explosive statement and the tense coexistence of Óscar and Ángel within the professional team, which led DT Paolo Montero to remove them from the starting team in last Sunday's game against Argentinos Juniors (defeat 0-1) and not even mention them for the next game against Estudiantes in La Plata.
