The board of CS Emelec rejected a juicy offer of 7.5 million dollars from the Major League Soccer (MLS) for 75% of the sporting rights of forward Brayan Angulo, a source from the millionaire club assured EL UNIVERSO.
The top scorer of the team in the current tournament (10 goals) is a key player in the squad led by coach Mariano Soso and will not be negotiated to foreign leagues, at least not this year.
Similarly, the talented winger Ayrton Preciado.
"(Angulo) will not be negotiated in this transfer window. We are going straight for another championship and he will not be sold until next season," said the club's informant, who requested anonymity.
The offer from North American football came about a month ago but was rejected because the club "is not in a hurry," they added.
In this regard, the Guayaquil institution does not rule out negotiations with a La Liga Spanish club and another from the Dutch championship to transfer 'Cuco' next year.

For the Ríosense winger, negotiations apparently have become complicated for a potential extension of the loan for six more months.
His contract with Emelec ends on Saturday, June 30.
Swansea City, the owner of his pass, has a new coach (Graham Potter) and "they want him back there," they told this newspaper.
The Welsh team will compete in the 2018-2019 season in the English Football League Championship (second division of England).
