If at any time the Rayados del Monterrey board thought about hiring the Colombian, Juan Camilo “Cucho” Hernándezits high price for the Columbus Crew He ruled out any option of being able to bring him to play in Liga MX.

The above arises after the position taken by the sports president of the Monterrey team, José Antonio “Tato” Noriega, who stated that it would be very risky and foolish to mention that the Colombian striker It could reach Mexican soccer, when there are prices that are really inaccessible for the Aztec teams.

Without being mentioned directly or accepted in the interview, Noriega turned away when asked the board of directors of the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer (MLS) the cost of the transferof the attacker who emerged from Deportivo Pereira in Colombian soccer and who exceeds $20 million dollars (around $400 million Mexican pesos).

In this regard, “Tato” stated that: “We would all like to have it, but it is surely unrealizable. I don’t think the values ​​are enough for ‘Cucho’ to be here. I will never say a zero, but the chances of a player like ‘Cucho’ coming, today, are reduced to below 5 percent.”Noriega declared after attending the club’s Board of Directors Meeting.

Obviously, when comparing that the Argentine Lucas Ocampo and the Spanish Sergio Canales and Oliver Torres cost around $14 million dollars (around $200 million Mexican pesos), because they immediately reversed their attempt to engage in more serious conversations with the North American team.

The reality is that “Cucho” Hernández raised his price too much with his great performance on the Ohio State team, where he played 93 games and scored 58 goals, after a career that includes América de Cali, SD Huesca, Mallorca, Getafe and Wattford from the Premier Leaguewhich has made him one of the main figures in American soccer.

The MLS is already outgrowing Cucho Hernandez. I hope to see him in a better League and a better team with all the experience gained in the USA League.pic.twitter.com/6C3L71Ddwg
