Relief for América de Cali: Cristian Barrios moves further from Junior | OneFootball

Cristian Barrios has been a key piece in the last semester of América de Cali, which is why his name begins to resonate in the transfer market, and generates concern in the team that will now be led by Gabriel Raimondi.

It was known that Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata had started proceedings to sign him, an interest that the Argentine club had already shown at the beginning of the year. But the 'Wolf' withdrew from the negotiations, presumably worried about the ankle injury that Barrios suffered in the Copa Sudamericana, which would still take some time to recover.

In this context, Junior de Barranquilla appeared, which these days has seemed very linked to América in the transfer market (including rumors about Juanfer Quintero).

With the arrival of Alfredo Arias to the bench of the Shark, the team seeks to reassemble with figures. However...

Is Cristian Barrios moving away from Junior?

Although several versions put the player on Junior's radar, at the express request of Alfredo Arias to strengthen the attack, journalist Diego Rueda reported that there would be "difficulties" to sign him.

Thus, the reporter adds, Junior would go for another option: Jhon Fredy Salazar, the right winger who has had a good season with Águilas Doradas and would be the chosen one to fulfill the wishes of coach Arias.
