Deportivo Pereirateam to which the central defender belongs Carlos Emiro Garcesrevealed days ago that the player would travel to Russia to take exams with FC Oremburgo. What seemed to become a new Colombian signing in the Russian league ended up falling due to an unusual event. The soccer player pointed to his club through a press release that he published on social networks.
“The NO link to FC Orenburg begins on August 30, 2022, the day on which Deportivo Pereira receives the letter of intent for my link to the Russian club, where the 12-month season loan offer with bow is specified, plus the option of purchase of my sports rights. After several days of negotiation I receive the authorization for my trip,” the player mentions in his statement.
Garcés said that following the matecaña’s permission to travel and present medical exams, he went to the city of Orenburg. “I leave the country with an illusion, with a dream as we have what we dedicate ourselves to this sport and that is to be able to play soccer abroad to be able to give our families a decent life”.
The 20-year-old central defender presented the tests and passed them without problems on Wednesday, September 7, remaining available to sign his contract. Everything depended on the paperwork between clubs. However, he assured that “I was surprised that Deportivo Pereira had to change the terminology of a paragraph in a clause to be able to register.” Garcés assured that the club’s response was negative, all this knowing that they were shortly to close registrations in the Russian League.
“After much insistence and repeated calls to the club, without finding an affirmative answer, it was possible to agree that the club send the agreement totally modified and accepted by both parties, but unfortunately for me, it was sent three minutes before the closing of inscriptions, so it was impossible to translate from Spanish to English,” he added.
The defender, who can also play as a front-line midfielder, has played 33 games in the first division with Deportivo Pereira and his recent game was in the classic match once morest Once Caldas. After that he received permission to travel to Russia. Today, he sees with sadness and disgust that his dream of playing in Europe collapsed. “The one that I thought was my home, like Deportivo Pereira, turned its back on me at the most decisive moment of my professional life and ruined all my dreams.”
Garcés was close to becoming the fifth player in the Russian League in which Jhon Córdoba (Krasnodar), Jorge Carrascal (CSKA Moscow) play; Wilmar Barrios and Mateo Cassierra (Zenit). For now he will have to continue wearing the matecaña shirt.
