Moreno set to hold talks with Nacional on loan move
Print Edition
Shanghai Greenland Shenhua captain Giovanni Moreno has been given permission to hold talks with Atletico Nacional president and manager today to decide whether he will join the Colombian club for the next six months and prepare for the World Cup in June.
Nacional posted a statement on its social media account last week, claiming that the 31-year-old midfielder would be 鈥渞eturning home鈥 soon. Greenland Shenhua denied that a deal had been reached, but added that it was up to Moreno to decide on the issue. Shenhua said it will 鈥渞espect his decision.鈥
With his eyes on the World Cup finals to be held in Russia, Moreno had said previously that he hopes to play elsewhere to maintain his form during the Chinese Super League offseason.
According to Greenland Shenhua, if a loan deal is reached, Nacional will pay the Colombian鈥檚 salary for the next six months. It also ruled out any extension of the deal after the World Cup.
Moreno played for Nacional from 2008 to 2010 before joining Argentina鈥檚 Racing Club. He joined Shenhua in 2012 and has a contract with the Shanghai outfit until the end of 2019.
Moreno鈥檚 teammates are currently in Marbella, Spain, for a month-long winter training session. The club plans to rope in 25-year-old Paraguayan midfielder Oscar Romero, who is currently playing for Spanish club Deportivo Alaves, on loan, should Moreno decide to head back home.
Meanwhile, Villarreal鈥檚 top scorer Cedric Bakambu is on the verge of leaving the club to move to Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan, according to Reuters.
The Congolese striker has scored 48 goals in all competitions for Villarreal since joining from Turkish outfit Bursaspor in 2015 for 7.5 million euros (US$9 million). He has netted nine times in La Liga this season, making him the joint-fifth top scorer in Spain鈥檚 top flight. Reports in the Spanish media put his release clause at 40 million euros.
鈥淏akambu鈥檚 transfer is being finalized and it could be completed in a matter of hours,鈥 the La Liga side鈥檚 coach Javi Calleja said yesterday.
鈥淚t is in the interest of all parties, there is a buy-out clause and it looks like they are going to pay it.鈥
