Until Friday, everything indicated that time was running in favor of National Uruguayan. Every day that passed was another day that passed without Luis Suarez accept one of the multiple offers he had received from clubs in various countries, and therefore brought him closer to the club where he made his debut in the first division. Because one thing is clear: National cannot compete with any other economic offer, and so this possibility that Suárez arrived at the Uruguayan club for these three months before the World Cup always crossed my heart.
But as of this Sunday night, the doubts began.
the president of National , Jose Fuentestraveled to Madrid on Wednesday to meet with Suárez, and after the meeting, which was described as “very positive” by Fuentes, the striker requested “two or three days” to respond.
But that term expired last weekend, without answers from Suárez.
National played this Sunday in the Gran Parque Central, won again, against Boston River, again with a goal from the Argentine center forward Gigliotti, and maintains the top of the General Table of the Uruguayan Championship. And again, the fans sang “Ole, ole, ole, Lucho, Lucho!”.
But there were no answers, and although the leaders of the Uruguayan tricolor were optimistic, the almost unanimous answer was clear: “The ball is in Suárez’s court. We are waiting for his answer.”
National plays international competition against Goianense for Copa Sudamericana next Tuesday, August 2, and has until Wednesday to register Luis Suàrez, so he can play.
Times are really running out now. At the same time, journalistic sources generally well informed on the Suárez issue, have managed in these hours that the striker is analyzing a very strong offer, which is competing with the one from the heart.
Suárez’s silence this weekend begins to speak for itself. Without concrete answers, the speculation that his arrival in Uruguay is at risk is beginning to gain strength. But it’s all speculation. The official confirmations have to arrive in these hours. Time is really running out.
