Surprise at River: Salomón Rondón negotiates his exit for personal reasons

Venezuelan striker Salomón Rondón initiated contacts with River’s management to terminate his contract for personal reasons, linked to the lack of adaptation to the Argentina.De this way, the attacker of the “vinotinto” national team, one of the team’s top scorers in the Professional League Cup (6 goals), could play his last game at the Millonario in the final of the Champions Trophy on December 22. Rondón, 34, has offers from Emelec of Ecuador and Pachuca of Mexico, although his entourage reports a possible departure to Spain due to family acclimatization issues, something that was made public at the time by coach Martín Demichelis himself.The Venezuelan arrived at River after being released by Everton in the Premier League at the end of January this year and made his debut on February 4, 2023 against Belgrano After a first half in which it was difficult for him to adapt, he played only 10 games as a starter out of the 34 official games that the team played, with 914 minutes on the field and only 3 goals scored. In the second half of the year his level improved, even in his country’s national team, to the point that he closes the year with a starting line-up and being one of the team’s top scorers with six goals in 576 minutes, seven starts and five substitutions, in the 16 games that River played.Rondón trained this morning with the squad at Ezeiza and will surely be a starter in the final of the Champions Trophy against Rosario Central or Platense despite the medical clearance of Colombian Miguel Borja, who will return to the squad after recovering from the tear in the right adductor. It is worth noting that Núñez’s team owns one hundred percent of his contract and that his release clause is five million euros net.
