From time to time, Argentine soccer tends to produce seeds on its grass that grow and over time can become projects of important soccer players at a local and global level.
That could be the case of
Tomás Parmo
, the 16-year-old gem from Independiente who dazzles
Carlos Tevez
and who this Thursday signed his first contract as a professional with
a termination clause of 20 million euros net.
Parmito
, as Tevez affectionately calls him, who sheltered him like his chicken in the
Rojo
squad , was present with his entire family at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium and signed his bond until December 2026 with the Avellaneda club.
He did not do it before because he only turned 16 on January 8 of this year, old enough to sign his first contract as a professional player.
Some time ago, they came from Italy to tempt him with a succulent offer of 5 million euros to leave under parental authority, but the kid and his family decided to stay to grow in Independiente.
Tevez made him do the entire preseason with the Primera.
And in the opening days of the League Cup, against Independiente Rivadavia and against Vélez, Tomi Parmo was concentrated and sat on the substitutes' bench.
Without adding minutes in the top category yet.
El
Apache
warned that he will take it little by little, but all the fans are waiting for his absolute debut.

Those who know the ins and outs of the club have already been warning about the qualities of this talented striker, very skilled and good at handling the ball with both feet.
The day he debuted in the Reserve he did so with a goal.
Tomás, who
is the son of journalist Alejandro Parmo
, was born in 2008, began playing baby soccer at the Cultural Junior de Sarandí club and came to Independiente in 2016, when he was eight years old.
After completing his cycle in Children's, he began his journey in the Lower divisions.

Now, the leadership will seek to close the contract extension of another of its youth talents:
Santiago López
.
The boy from the Under 17 National Team changed his representative in recent days and that unblocked the situation so that next week the signing of his new bond can take place since the current one expires at the end of this year.
