All parties consider this to be a good time. Of course, Peñarol does not look with bad eyes that Facundo Torres placeholder image he stayed six more months taking into account sports, but everything indicates that the transfer to the Orlando City of the MLS will be in the next few days and that the aurinegra leadership will not be able to make too many obstacles to make it happen.
Although Ignacio Ruglio, president of the mirasol institution, knew what was the amount of money he expected to receive from the player, at no time did he close the doors to negotiation and in fact last day it was refloated and that is why the Chances of the Raven migrating are clear.
It should be remembered that the footballer who emerged from the club and who debuted in the First Division in August 2020 at the hands of Diego Forlán, has a contract with Peñarol until 2023 and in turn a clause that today stands at US $ 20 million.
In the first instance, an offer came to Peñarol from the American club that did not convince the Mirasol leadership and that it was for 70% of the token and an amount that was a little less than half of what is now the clause of departure of the 21-year-old player, who has already made his debut in the Uruguayan national team and who is among Diego Alonso’s reserved for the games once morest Paraguay and Venezuela for the Qualifiers.
What changed in the last hours? Orlando City approached Peñarol once more and the numbers began to convince those leading the negotiation that they will still wait for a formal offer that will then be analyzed by the entire leadership, but that everything indicates that it would satisfy all parties.
In case of arriving in Orlando City, Torres knows that he will not be alone and that in fact he will have double Uruguayan company. On the one hand, the North American team already has the presence of Mauricio Pereyra and, in turn, finalized the arrival of César Araújo on the last day.
In this way, Orlando might have a trilogy of Uruguayan footballers and although one has already been at the club for a long time and the other has just been hired, the third is very close.
Facundo Torres would thus become a new low for Peñarol for the 2022 season and would be high for MLS, a football where he can feel comfortable and where the Uruguayans began to make their mark for some time.
