Ruben Darío Insua's fear became reality
.
Gastón Hernández
was sold to Olympiacos of Greece three days before the debut of the 2024 official competition and thus San Lorenzo gets rid of one of the figures of its defense although it will achieve an income of money necessary for its needy economy.
There were 74 games and 3 goals in total that were left behind by this 26-year-old defender who emerged from the youth team and managed to establish himself in the first Barça team with the arrival of Insua (he had previously gone out on loan to San Martín de San Juan).
He is one of the footballers who showed the greatest growth in the Galician cycle and will now make the leap to Europe.
The negotiation was closed verbally in the last hours, but it had been in talks for days.
In fact, San Lorenzo had rejected a first offer from the Greek club, considering it insufficient.
But the Europeans did not give up, they showed greater interest and the numbers improved.
As
Clarín
learned , Ciclón will receive around
3.5 million dollars net
for 85 percent of the pass of Tonga, which will be traveling to Greece this Wednesday night.
The medical examination will be carried out and, if there are no problems, he will sign the contract with his new club.

Insua had recently declared that he was counting on him, although he knew that he was one step away from being transferred.
And it happened.
In any case, he has the defense covered with the additions of Colombians Jhohan Romaña and Nicolás Hernández, who is nicknamed the
Butcher
.
The one who stays for now is Adam Bareiro, for whom they rejected a new offer from Atlético Paranaense.
Speaking of reinforcements, at the moment all the new faces are disqualified for the debut of the League Cup, this Saturday against Lanús, since the Boedo entity is inhibited by a salary debt with Yeison Gordillo of 1.5 million Dollars.
The leadership chaired by Marcelo Moretti assures that they already have the money and that the situation will be unblocked before the weekend.
