Marcone's transfer to Independiente Rivadavia may cost $1.8 million

Independiente Rivadavia is still after Iván Marcone, but Elche's owner, Christian Bragarnik, is asking for $1.8 million for his transfer. The Elche midfielder wants to return to what he considers his home and the three-way negotiation between the player, the club, and Bragarnik is ongoing.

What's happening with the negotiation?

The option being considered to close the deal is a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. This clause could be mandatory, as Elche wants to put an end to this issue.

Why is it important for Independiente Rivadavia?

Marcone is a key player for the club and his signing could be a great reinforcement for the team. However, the economic aspect is an obstacle and Elche's owner is not willing to let him leave with a free transfer.

What does Independiente Rivadavia's coach say?

Eduardo Domínguez, the team's coach, pressured the midfielder with some statements in a press conference that did not go well with the player. Domínguez said that when he wanted to go to a team, he always did, but that Marcone must make a decision.
