This Monday May 1 Millionaires made it official that they will not loan Óscar Cortés to the Colombian Sub 20 team who will participate in the World Cup from May 21, the day of their debut once morest Israel in La Plata. The player is the great figure of the blue team and both the leadership and the coaching staff prefer that he stay playing in the BetPlay League and the Copa Sudamericana. It is also said that it might be sold to Europe in the next summer market.
As reported by Diego Rueda in the VBar of Caracol Radio, “Millionaires officially communicated” to the Colombian Football Federation that it will not transfer Cortés to the youth team. The concentration will begin on May 5 in Bogotá and the 19-year-old midfielder from Tumaco will not be there. He would be the only FPC footballer not to borrow for the World Cup, other clubs like Santa Fe, Nacional, and Junior will access the loans.
The FCF has already delivered to FIFA the list in good faith with 39 players, among them was Cortés. The final squad, with 21 names, has a deadline of Wednesday, May 10. Of those who play abroad, Jhon Jader Durán is doubtful, the Federation is in talks with his club, Aston Villa. The striker doesn’t have many minutes, but Unai Emery needs him for the final stretch of the Premier. The English tournament ends on May 28.
Óscar Cortés became known this year for his good performance in the South American Sub 20. He came as a substitute, with a low profile, but in the first game he stayed with the starter and never came out once more. He finished as the top scorer for the Colombian National Team with 3 goals in 9 games. After the end of that tournament he rejoined Millonarios where he is an undisputed figure. He has 6 annotations in 10 League and South American appearances.
Colombia will play once morest Israel, Japan and Senegal in group C of the FIFA World Cup. The three confrontations will be at the Único Diego Armando Maradona stadium in La Plata, Argentina. The first two from each zone will advance to the round of 16, a phase to which the 4 best third-placed teams will also qualify.
