I see Madrid are about to get Mastantuono, he was the next in line after Echeverri. No reports of him being loaned out by Alonso. He is going there to stay and fight. So why wouldn’t Echeverri do the same?
For me it smells of favoritism, and giving game time to the same faces.
I understand why he wants to go to Roma rather than Girona.
I dug into it, and it’s mainly a work-permit, points-based issue —he’s borderline right now, so the club are loaning him out to boost his score.That is probably one of the reasons hes been loaned out.
If that is the case, then do it smartly, but I think we could have gotten a work permit for him.
What scares me is the loan-to-buy offer from Roma, which includes a buy-back clause. If we accept that, we are the idiots of the world.
