The steering wheel Yeison Gordillo was presented this Friday by Junior through his social networks. The player who has spent a year in Argentine soccer with San Lorenzo, had held talks with Santa Fe, a team in which he was between 2015-2018 and in which he became known internationally after winning the South American Cup and the Suruga Bank ; however, he decided on the rojiblanco.
This Friday, before the registration period for free players against Dimayor closed, the shark made his signing official: “We welcome midfielder Yeison Gordillo to our institution. Much success at ‘Rojiblanco’!”
In addition, the number that the 30-year-old Cauca midfielder will wear was announced. It is number 5, the same one he wore in the cyclone.
This is undoubtedly a hard blow for the Cardinal fan who got excited about the return of Gordillo, after passing through Tolima and San Lorenzo. The president of Santa Fe, Eduardo Méndez, had already told Caracol Radio that the news surprised him because they were talking and had agreed on the salary. Later, the player declined, alleging some issues in Argentina.
“I was calm, I had been talking to him for a month, he always told me that I had to wait for a document from San Lorenzo, since he was trying to solve it to go to litigation, during all that time he told me that. I called him during the week and told him to train while the document arrived. We had already arranged values (…) The love of the shirt goes into the background and the economic part prevailed in it,” Méndez told Caracol.
