The Cruz Azul directive is close to acquiring the services of Ecuadorian defender Darío Aimar, who plays for Barcelona SC.
Negotiations between the directives are advanced and according to a source consulted by Mediotiempo, the transfer of Aimar is arranged by 90%.
Since mid-April, Cruz Azul approached the Ecuadorian club to inquire about the defender and little by little the negotiations have been progressing, so the agreement could be finalized this week.
The player's federation rights amount to around 3 million dollars, according to an interview given a few weeks ago by Carlos Alfaro Moreno, vice president of Barcelona SC.
The first reinforcement of Cruz Azul for the Apertura 2018 will be Argentine midfielder Iván Marcone, who presented his medical tests this Monday and if they are satisfactory, he will be signing with the Cementeros in no time.
