Deportivo Cali denied Deportivo Cali and clarified the true status of Luis el 'Chino' Sandoval.
The forward, who is out of contract next June, is unlikely to be open to renewing his deal and has been rumored to be linking him with Uruguayans Independiente Medellin and Peñarol.
Therefore, Harold Lozada, vice president of Deportivo Cali, said this Thursday, in a conversation with Marino Millán, “We have decided in the management team that Mr. Luis Sandoval will no longer be on the list.”
However, the club issued a statement this Thursday in which it clarified the situation of 'Ceano', denying the president's version.
“Based on the rumors and information that have circulated in recent hours, we would like to clarify that player Luis Fernando Sandoval has a current contractual relationship with our association and is, therefore, at the full disposal of the coaching staff when deemed necessary.” Deportivo's report notes.
However, it is not known if coach Jaime de la Bava, due to a technical decision or pressure from the leaders, did not take Sandoval into account in the call-up for this Friday's match against Atletico Nacional in Palmasega on Matchday 7 of BetPlay I. League.
The absence of 'Chino' Sandoval from the Sugar team is even more surprising as he is in good form and forms a very solid attacking partnership with Juan Jose Cordoba.
