Deportivo Cali Denies Decision to Remove Luis ‘Chino’ Sandoval from Roster
The situation surrounding the future of Deportivo Cali forward Luis ‘Chino’ Sandoval has sparked controversy, with conflicting reports about his contract renewal and potential transfers to other clubs.
Vice president of Deportivo Cali, Harold Losada, made a statement on Thursday, announcing that the club had decided to remove Sandoval from the roster as his contract is set to expire in June. This decision has led to speculation about Sandoval’s potential move to clubs such as Independiente Medellín and Peñarol of Uruguay.
However, the club released a contradictory statement, denying the leader’s version and clarifying Sandoval’s current contractual situation. The statement affirmed that Sandoval remains under contract with Deportivo Cali and is at the complete disposal of the coaching staff.
Despite this, coach Jaime de la Pava did not include Sandoval in the lineup for the upcoming match against Atlético Nacional, raising questions about the reasoning behind this decision.
Sandoval’s absence from the squad is notable, as he has been in good form and has formed a strong attacking partnership with Juan José Córdoba.
The conflicting reports and the exclusion of Sandoval from the upcoming match have added further intrigue to the situation, leaving fans and observers eager for more clarity on the future of the talented forward.
