The case of
Emiliano Vecchio
threatened to become the novel of the summer.
And it had little to do with his relationship with Mercedes, the daughter of
Víctor Blanco
and ex-wife of Lisandro López who was whitewashed by the president himself.
"The family situation is not going to weigh"
, the leader had assured.
What was delayed was the agreement with the Rosario down payment.
Finally there was a handshake.
This Wednesday, Sergio Lami, the player's representative, will travel to Buenos Aires and there will be a meeting to finalize the details of a contract that will link the Magnate with Racing until December 2024.
Vecchio said "no" to
Independiente
, who called him to probe his situation.
According to
Clarín
, the footballer told Lami that there are two clubs he would never play for: Independiente and Newell's.
Of course, he not only has an emotional bond with Racing, whose fans adopted him very quickly because of his talent;
also, with Central, the team he is a fan of.
Negotiations were not easy.
After the
rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament
in his left knee that he suffered against Colón in Santa Fe for the 25th round of the last Professional League played in mid-October, Vecchio's idea was to retire.
However,
Fernando Gago
convinced him.
And on the 31st of that month he underwent surgery.
“Emiliano is very happy with the coaching staff, with his teammates, with the manager;
He found his place in the world and always wanted to stay, ”according to the 34-year-old footballer's entourage.
There was a tug of war over the purely economic issue.
After all,
Vecchio had arrived for a "low" contract
, according to Lami himself.
Finally, a "normal" salary was agreed and some demanding productivity clauses that have to do with the number of games played, goals scored and even titles won.
That is to say, to earn more money, Vecchio will have to
work hard
.
People around him say that he is "motivated" and that he wants to get well.
His idea is to be available for the second part of 2023.
Meanwhile, the squad will train today to think about the duel with Godoy Cruz on Monday in Mendoza.
They await the evolution of Matías Rojas.
