The Barcelona Sporting Club urgently needs a player who can overflow down the wings. After the friendly match that ended 0-1 against Delfín for the Yellow Night 2020, the torero team, led by Argentine coach Fabián Bustos, showed that they lack a dynamic element to open up rival defenses.
Last night, it was clear that the Argentine Damián Díaz and Fidel Martínez, who have qualities for other positions on the field, failed to provide the contribution from the sides to destroy the Manabitas.
While Argentine coach Fabián Bustos looks for a solution to enhance the offense for Wednesday's match (19:30 in Ecuador) against Progreso in Montevideo, Uruguay, the canary board is trying to make Michael Arroyo's return a reality.
Aquiles Álvarez, sports vice president, revealed that they are in talks with Arroyo's agent, who hopes to reach an agreement to settle the pending amounts and avoid a new demand worth $8 million.
"In 89 percent, Michael Arroyo will play for Barcelona," Álvarez commented on Arroyo, who was inactive throughout 2019 after testing positive in a doping test after the Clásico del Astillero, which the canary team won 1-0 against Emelec at the Monumental stadium.
"What we want the least is problems, let's hope to solve it. He has a contract with the club, let's hope to add him to the team," added the executive.
The issue could be resolved in the coming days, as the player wishes to defend the colors of the Ídolo once again. (D)
