Mateo García Transfer from Once Caldas to Millonarios
Futbolred reports on Millonarios' interest in signing Mateo García. Millonarios approached Mateo García to explore the possibilities of signing him. However, the transfer could not proceed because García played with Once Caldas in the second round of the championship, making him ineligible for a transfer to any Colombian team this semester.
Mateo García has been approached by Millonarios. Once Caldas posted a photo with the phrase 'Se queda', implying that negotiations did not succeed with Millonarios, as the offer was considerably low. Journalist Felipe Sierra clarified that the player never requested a transfer and aims to do his best for the team. However, the negotiation is not closed, and Millonarios may improve their offer or abandon the pursuit.
Futbolred has reported on the unsuccessful transfer attempt of Mateo García to Millonarios. Mateo García, who plays as a midfielder for Once Caldas, was a significant target for Millonarios. The club had been pursuing this transfer for more than a year, with García reportedly having shown a strong desire to relocate to Bogotá. Despite promising negotiations and advanced contract discussions, the transfer did not materialize. The negotiation process included a potential player exchange involving Juan José Ramírez and Santiago Giordana from Millonarios, but an agreement was not reached. The failure of the transfer is attributed to the high valuation set by Once Caldas, who priced García at 4 million USD, contrasting with a Transfermarkt valuation of 900,000 EUR.
Millonarios has sent a formal offer to Once Caldas for Mateo García, a player they have been interested in for some time. The journalist Diego Rueda stated that joining Millonarios is the first possibility for the player, and his signing is almost ready. However, Felipe Trujillo, the manager of Once Caldas, mentioned that the offer was not attractive enough for the club, and Mateo García is currently working on his recovery. The deal is expected to take several days to finalize as Millonarios needs to make a more attractive offer.
Mateo García, who is currently playing for Once Caldas, has been performing well and attracting interest from several major Colombian football clubs. Millonarios is reportedly the club closest to signing him. Journalist Javier Hernández Bonnet indicated that Millonarios has made an offer for García, with the potential transfer expected to occur in the next semester. However, journalist Juan Esteban Londoño noted that Once Caldas has neither received any formal offer nor had any conversations with Millonarios regarding García. The club is presently focused on concluding the current semester strongly. It is suggested that Millonarios might pursue García after the conclusion of Liga I in late June, particularly because they are anticipated to lose two players in García's position.
