Belgrano decides not to exercise option for Cardozo

Belgrano has decided not to exercise the option to sign Thiago Cardozo, the Uruguayan goalkeeper who plays for the team. The management was waiting for a decision on this matter, as the deadline for Belgrano to exercise the purchase option was June 30.

What happened?

The only offer made by the president of the Pirata, Luis Artime, was $300,000, plus the condonation of a $200,000 debt that Unión has for the transfer of Agustín Colazo.

Why is it important for Belgrano?

The decision not to exercise the option for Cardozo may have an impact on the team, as the Uruguayan goalkeeper has been fundamental in the season. With 20 points in the Liga Profesional Argentina, Belgrano is currently in 10th place, 9 points behind leaders Boca Juniors.

What comes next?

Unión is not moving from the fixed option and wants Belgrano to pay $1,200,000 for the goalkeeper's transfer. Cardozo will remain with the Pirata until December, when the loan ends.
