Rondón, Demichelis’s former partner who the DT is also evaluating

The objective is clear: the cannons in River aim to reinforce the forward, since in which Martin Demichelis He believes that the team lacks alternatives. And after that in recent days the leaders opened the doors of the club to Rafael Borre for a return to loan that does not seem to be very viable, In the last hours, the Venezuelan Salomón Rondón was offered, who was released from Everton.

Like the Uruguayan nicholas lopezthe name of the 33-year-old striker was brought up to the leadership and is currently under observation, something that happens with all cases of this style: the leaders, the Technical Secretariat and the coach analyze the player and then decide whether to move forward or not in a negotiation, which in this case would be direct with Rondon. The Venezuelan, in this sense, has a point in favor: throughout 2011 and a half 2012 he shared a squad at Málaga with Demichelis: He was the team’s starting center forward and goalscorer, so they know each other well.

Although he has a good time in European football, Solomon’s last months do not match previous years. By case, in the past semester he played just 194 minutes spread over eight games (seven for the Premier and one for the Carabao Cup) and did not score goals. In the 21/22 season he had played a little more, although with many substitutions: there were 1,062 ‘in 23 games, of which in 11 he was part of the starting lineup. He converted Crystal Palace for the Premier and a double for Boreham Wood for the FA Cup.

Among his most notable steps in Europe are the two seasons he played in Málaga (from 2010 to 2012, 27 goals in 72 games), all three in West Bromwich (between 2015 and 2018 he played 120 games and scored 28 times) and the only one in Newcastlebefore going to China (on 18/19, in which he lined up in 33 games and celebrated 12 times).

With the Venezuelan team, Rondon He played six games in the last World Cup Qualifiers in Qatar (513′) and scored four goals.

beyond a Borja who gradually gained confidence and adapted to the environment towards the end of 2022, goals included, Demichelis He considers that the Hummingbird today does not have a completely reliable alternative in that role as a scorer. Because Lucas Beltran sees it today as more useful in terms of pressure than in terms of resolution and because Flabian Londono Bedoya There is still, logically, something green just out of the Reserve and still without official minutes in First Division.

With the already known negatives of a Driusi who wanted to come back a couple of years ago but has now settled in Austin and Alario who prefers to stay in Europe and the dream of I deleted (today perhaps more of Borré than of River) waiting, the club is with its eyes wide open to the options that appear on the scene.

And one of them, in addition to that of Rondones Nicolás López: El Diente, an old desire of Gallardo, was offered and his name is currently under evaluation by the CT. The 29-year-old Uruguayan could leave Tigres de Monterrey (he scored 24 goals in 74 PJ), which seeks to free up a foreigner’s quota and has contracted the striker until December of this year. Although in Mexico they warn that Cruzeiro has it in their plans…
