In Central, the main topic for a few days has been the future of the talented midfielder Facundo Buonanotte. It is a story that has already written several chapters, but the one that made the most “noise” was the one that took place this Tuesday, when the club’s leadership announced that the player will not be transferred to Brighton in the Premier League when the negotiation was closed by a large sum of money. Faced with this situation, the representative of the 17-year-old youth, Roberto San Juan, went out to the managers and considered his actions as “clowny”.
“I would tell you that it sounds even clownish. We got them an unbeatable offer of 12 million dollars with a capital gain of 20 percent. Imagine, a capital gain in the Premier League could be incalculable. We had everything arranged, they had sent us the pre-contract and now it happens This. It’s almost comical,” San Juan said, adding: “We were surprised because we had everything agreed; it could have been the best sale in the club’s history.”
Still in Madrid, where the last negotiations were held to close the conditions of the pass, the representative revealed that Vice President Ricardo Carloni (exercising the president before the license of Rodolfo Di Pollina) did not inform him of the decision. In that sense, he said that “we found out through the media, which is the saddest thing. It’s a really pathetic thing. I called Carloni and he didn’t answer, even Facundo called him and he didn’t answer him. Nobody thinks about Central, the opposition used this politically and it’s pathetic.

“It’s something pathetic, the lack of seriousness of the Central leadership is visible. The English cannot believe it, they met for 15 hours to close one of the best sales in history for Central. The offer was unbeatable,” he added.
In addition, he revealed that Buonanotte “is bad because he wanted to leave. This was a great opportunity. At 17 years old, going to the Premier League was a privilege. This will affect him psychologically. He was very happy. He is a Central fan like all his family and it was a great opportunity and even more so being so young”.
In that sense, he confided that “Facu wanted the offer to leave a lot of money to Central. The offer was excellent for everyone. It saved Facundo, went to the Premier and helped the club financially.”

On the other hand, he assured that the coach Carlos Tevez wanted to have the youth but “this happens through a leadership decision, there are situations in which the DT cannot get involved.”
Finally, he told what reaction Central’s decision generated in the English club: “They can’t believe it, they are surprised. They spent 15 hours meeting in Madrid to find a solution. We got the club an unbeatable offer.”
As reported by the representative himself, the Scoundrel received 12 million, six for the pass, plus six for goals and a capital gain of 20%. However, they did not accept and wanted them to pay the 20M clause. “Facundo is bad because he wanted to leave. This was a great opportunity. At 17 years old, going to the Premier League was a privilege,” San Juan said in statements to TyC Sports and La Red Rosario.
