“It is false,” said manager Nassib Neme about the new approach of the Guayaquil club with a Macará player. Left side, ‘quite well covered’.
“It is false” that Emelec is trying to sign Arón Rodríguez, a Macará player; and in terms of extremes, the millionaire team is looking for a footballer on the right, with Jeison Chalá as “option, although complex”. This is what Nassib Neme, president of the Guayaquil club, told this newspaper.
“What about Arón Rodríguez is false,” replied the manager, asked about a new approach with the 22-year-old attacker, for whom Emelec did recognize an inclination last November, in the words of the principal himself: “Yes, we are interested. It is close, but with nothing signed yet ”.
Neme recalled this Wednesday that the team led by the Spanish Ismael Rescalvo already has elements for the left side: Joao Rojas, Jefferson Caicedo, Marcos Caicedo and Dixon Vera. “We can’t go and spend the money we don’t have to inflate the budget in a fairly well-covered position on the roster.”
Within the framework of possible incorporations, the Ecuadorian from Godoy Cruz (Argentina) Jeison Chalá “is an option.”
“He plays right winger. Still complex, but it is an option”Said the president of the millionaires.
Chalá (27 years old), who debuted in the first category (series B) in 2015, with Espoli, had his initial experience in foreign football in 2021 by joining the so-called Tomba de Mendoza. Before that, he played for Liga de Portoviejo (2016), Clan Juvenil (2017) and Universidad Católica (2018-2020).
This Wednesday, in dialogue with The Round Radio, Edmundo Véjar, vice president of Emelec, referred to what the club is looking for: “At the last board meeting I said that an offensive right wing flyer would help us”.
To date, in the absence of announcing two signings, the cast of Buenos Aires has been made with the reinforcements of the Ecuadorians Eddie Guevara (defense), Roberto Garcés (midfielder), Kevin Rivera (midfielder) and Marcos Caicedo (attacker), and the Argentines Gustavo Canto (defender) and Mauro Quiroga (center forward).
Emelec, who became Ecuador’s monarch for the last time in 2017, will play the Copa Libertadores in 2022, in addition to the domestic competition. (D)
