America of Cali He knows of the need to reinforce himself in defense and before the market closes on March 4, he hopes to find an experienced central defender to fill the void left, first, by Kevin Andrade’s departure from Argentine football, and later, by the from Pablo Ortíz to the Danish Super League.
Although everything indicated that the possible reinforcement for that position would be a Colombian, now an international figure has emerged. This is Arturo Mina, a player with a past in the Ecuadorian National Team, passing through important clubs in South America and an experience in Europe.
The journalist Carlos ‘Petiso’ Arango, from the program Smoke Free Zoneassured that “Ecuadorian central defender Arturo Mina, former Independiente del Valle and River Plate, was presented as a possibility to América de Cali. They analyze it.”
His information was replicated by the Ecuadorian press, which did not hesitate to talk about the possibility of Mina for one of the greats of the FPC. The experienced defender left Eruzurmspor a year ago, when he was a starter in his team, and since then he has been without a club. Precisely this aspect, which is without rhythm, would be the one that they would be analyzing in the ‘Red Devils’.
However, América de Cali is not the only one who would be interested in the former central defender of River Plate and Independiente del Valle. He has also sounded for Peñarol and Nacional from Uruguay, Colo Colo from Chile, and several first division clubs from Argentina and others in Paraguayan soccer.
The Ecuadorian international, 31 years old and 1.90 meters tall, played with his country’s national team in the Copa América 2015, Centenario in 2016 and 2019, in addition to the Qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Since he arrived in Turkish football he has not been called up again in the ‘tri’ After that he disappeared from the map.
Juan Carlos Osorio’s team is struggling, mainly in the defensive sector. Everything has added to him: departure of players, injuries, expulsion and a bad individual moment. He has already completed five dates without winning and everything points to specific errors in that area. He must be reinforced and urgently, because what he signs in this registration period must be enough to face the rest of the year. Will Mina be the one?
