Joel Raffo spoke this Monday, November 13, to respond to the offers that exist for Yoshimar Yotún, including those of the Universitario de Deportes, confirmed by Jean Ferrari himself during the celebrations of the title of the Creams. In this sense, the president of Sporting Cristal made clear his position on the contract situation of “Yoshi” in this transfer market.
“Because of what he represents both on and off the field, he will attract interest from national and international clubs. This is of course. However, we have no intention whatsoever that he can be transferred. It’s not an economic problem. Therefore.” “Whatever they say, it’s not for sale. He is under contract with us,” Raffo said for ESPN Peru.
Likewise, the Celestial Leader stated that they will not sit down with any team to discuss a possible sale of Yoshimar Yotún. “We have no openness whatsoever, not even to talk about this possibility.”
