This news would be a blow to the illusion of the fans of National Athleticwho dreamed of seeing him retire in the ‘purslane’; as promised in 2018 when his departure to the south of the continent was confirmed.
If Armani fulfills its entire contract with River, I would be 38 years old when this ends; a fairly high age where possibly Casilda’s is already considering his retirement.
Thus, Franco would continue in Marcelo Gallardo’s team, which he arrived in 2018 and where he has made a name for himself as one of the best goalkeepers in its history.
