There is the interest, the amount of the transfer was discussed and initially agreed, we are waiting for the documents”.
Later, he stated that “Olympia wants him and he is fine there but we will see. Getting to Colo Colo would be something very good for him personally and his career. Being in such a big club and being able to demonstrate its quality in Chile. It is in a 50 and 50 that the operation is completed”.
Finally, Petta assured that “everything could be defined on the weekend. We have three teams in Argentina that want him and another offer from Saudi Arabia. But at a sporting and economic level, the one that comes closest is Colo Colo”.
