Santos has announced reinforcements for next time, but it would have possibly already been confirmed. Among the current players who are not on the list of those expected to continue in 2024, the scenario of forwards Stiven Mendoza and Alfredo Morelos is a concern. With the group’s main salaries, the Colombians have no offers from other clubs and also intend to decrease their efforts to continue at Alvinegro.
Morelos, 27 years ago, arrived at Peixe with the prestige of the 3rd starting player in the Europa League, the second most important party on the European continent, and the idol of Rangers, from Scotland, the time he defended his years. Field, therefore, the forward had a deception. During 76 minutes of training, diluted in 3 games, he scored a goal.
Fora de forma, ele ainda sofreu uma lesão muscular na panturrilha direita que o deixou fora da equipe durante cerca de 50 dias. Com contrato até 31 de agosto de 2025 e salário especulado em torno de R$ 900 mil mensais, Morelos virou uma pedra no sapato da nova diretoria, que toma posse na terça-feira.
Segundo o empresário do atacante, Martin Camaño, ele mantém conversas com o coordenador de futebol do Santos, Alexandre Gallo, “vendo o que é melhor para Alfredo (Morelos) e para o Santos”.
He did not consult through Gallo about the option of a salary cut in Morelos, handing cash to golfer João Paulo, boosting Tomás Rincón and attacking Julio Furch to stay in Vila Belmiro.
“Não conversei sobre isso (redução salarial) com o Gallo. O Santos, obviamente, está passando um momento difícil e nós vamos tratar de ajudar em tudo o que pudermos”, afirmou Camaño.
The attacking agent says that at no time does he have proposals for Morelos, but that this offer in the market, the appearance of the first wave of signings of the year is the maximum force in the volume of negotiations involving European clubs.
“We are in the market to see what is most productive for Santos and Alfredo. As there are many possibilities in the world of football and we are racing to find solutions,” Assinala said.
Mendoza, a player who receives a salary incompatible with the monetary reality of the Peixe, the 31-year-old Colombian striker Stiven Mendoza, does not foresee a definite long term either. Consequently, the point is good enough for the club’s new salary policy, which will be a satisfactory investment for 2024. Given that the current electricity company generates a circular of R$ 12 million per month, the idea especially reduces the amount.
The second businessman from Mendoza, Alex Rodrigo Firmino, spoke with him about the holy moment, but about a salary cut that was not put on the table. Questionado se o aceitaria colombiano lisequar os seus ganhos, o agente disse qui est precisiono talk about o assunto.
“We have to sit down and see what is better. For Mendoza and for Santos. We remind them that the Directorate of Labor is the new technical committee of the club,” said the businessman.
However, the performance of the Colombian could have been better than that of the original position.
“Or Marcos Leonardo, the architect of Santos last season, with 21 goals. Mendoza was second, with 10. The third (Julio Furch and Joaquim) scored just 3 goals. Time has passed (not Ceará), or Mendoza costs 20 dollars. That year he didn’t use in some games, he’s an excessive player and at that time he didn’t use in his position,” he added.
According to the agent, given the situation of adjustments that exists in Vila Belmiro, a transfer to the club is also not possible, as the striker is also on the market.
“O Mfinishoza is a player in the market, the total end of the era was made by a survey. From Brazilians, from América do Sul, from two United States, from several countries,” he confirmed.
Hired in January of the year from Ceará, which was relegated to Brazil 2022, Mendoza had forty-five days for Santos in the season. Marcou scored 10 goals, four at Paulistão and 6 at Brasileiro, but has 3 assists. The contract with Peixe will run until December 31, 2025.
A Tribuna pediu um posicionamento do coordenador Alexandre Gallo sobre a situação dos dois jogadores, mas não obteve resposta.
