The central defender, who is wanted by Mouth, River and several clubs abroad, has a contract until mid-2023 and the conflict occurs because the Globe intends to extend its relationship in order to negotiate a better offer. This is how he explained it david garzon making it clear that “you are badly advised”
“The representatives told us that they are not offering him but that there are clubs that call him to negotiate as a free player. Lucas has always stated that he does not want to go free from Hurricane and I have everything to believe him. He has six months of contract and every day he tells us that Hurricane is not going to go badly. Of course I believe him. There are clubs from outside that offer low amounts as if he were a free player.”, declared
“We are offering him a contract with Huracán so that he stays if there is no offer or to negotiate a sale. Logically, by signing the contract the offers are different, that is what we are asking the player for, but on the best terms. we have offered the best contract in the history of hurricane, which is even hard for us to pay but We want to be sure that the player stays so that the offers are different”, added later.
“We are not going to hang Merolla. We have a very good relationship with him. He is a barbaric boy, with whom you can talk, he always says that he wants the best for Huracán, I always say it. If he does not sign a new contract, we have not evaluated what to do. We have time to wait for an offer, which is what we want. I want him to sign today and that we have the possibility of him leaving. We just assumed we were one point from relegation and I asked him to stay. He benched us, put on his chest and it stayed. Now we owe ourselves to an offer that may not be the best for the club but it is for the player.
We are willing to negotiate with anyone.”, commented “We spoke with him because he does not renew. He tells us that he is prioritizing the family economy and we tell him that this does not go against that, but rather it is to receive more serious offers. For me he is not well advised but they are his decisions. We are not at a point of conflict or negotiation because Lucas tells us that the offer is good but he wants to go and play elsewhere and I understand it.” complete.
