Criticized for the lack of category signings, in Millonarios there is great concern about the future of Andrés Felipe Román, the right back who is a figure in the Bogota team and who will play this Sunday with the Colombian National Team, in a friendly against Honduras.
The albiazul leadership has a great dilemma: although it wants to maintain a squad that is as competitive as possible, it knows that an exit offer could come for Román this semester. It is not optimal for the coach for Alberto Gamero, but it would be almost a desperate decision and, from a business point of view, necessary.
What about Andrés Felipe Roman? The 26-year-old winger has established himself as a starter and as a fundamental piece in the performance of Millonarios. Gone are the doubts and uncertainties due to his medical condition, which prevented him from reaching Boca Juniors due to a heart condition.
Roman has the heart of an athlete, a coronary novelty that does not prevent him from playing in high competition. Millionaires supported him, carried out dozens of medical tests, and restored his confidence as a footballer.
But in football, beyond the gratitude that Andrés Felipe has with the ambassador club, there are opportunities to change clubs, to improve economic conditions and to take advantage of the moment.
Thus, Millonarios would be forced to accept some proposal, if it comes soon, to get rid of the Bogota player and keep a profit.
Is it okay to sell Andrés Felipe Román? From the coaching staff they understand that no; that losing another important player would be detrimental to the 2022 season. However, in the leadership they are between a rock and a hard place. The footballer’s contract ends next June, and the talks to renew his contract are not going well.
Román has refused to renew his link with the albiazul club, because he must have his reasons. Thus, in June he would remain as a free player, and in the event of a transfer, Millonarios would not receive any money for the operation.
So the debate opens: what should Millionaires do? Sell now and earn money? Make every effort to renew Roman? Or cut off conversations and let him go in June?
