Do you remember the Uruguayan Aguirre? He can (still) bring money to Udine

The former Juventus player will be bought by the Mexicans of Monterrey

Do you remember Uruguayan Rodrigo Aguirre, Montevideo striker born in 1994, of Oscar Bentancourt’s team, who Udinese parked at Empoli in the summer of 2014 before taking him to Friuli in January of the following year and making him available to Andrea Stramaccioni?

He had to be the extra man of the black and white squad, but he turned out to be a real flash in the pan. With only one goal in Serie A to his credit, in the following seasons Aguirre began to wander on loan between lower categories (Perugia) and experiences abroad (Lugano, Nacional and Botafogo). Remaining the property of Udinese, in a nutshell, until February 2019 when the bianconeri sell it outright to the Ecuadorians of the Liga de Quito in exchange for 2 million dollars. Two seasons later, therefore, Uruguayan passes on a two-year loan to the Mexicans of Necaxa, where this year he plays his best championship with eleven goals to his credit between the Apertura and Clausura tournaments.

A small exploit for this striker, not yet 30 years old, which earned him the interest of Monterrey, that is the most popular team in Mexico, who knocks on the door of the Liga de Quito. A negotiation not that long, then, leads to a substantial agreement between Mexicans and Ecuadorians with Aguirre who flew to Monterrey yesterday to sign the new contract. The value of the transfer, according to local media, is 5 million dollars which, however, should not completely end up in the pockets of the South American club.

From Quito, in fact, the news rebounds according to which Udinese, at the time of the transfer of the attacker, reserved 50% of the future sale of the player with the corollary of the theorem that explains, therefore, how the Friulian club is preparing to collect 2 million 500 thousand dollars. A small treasure that can (just in case) be reinvested in this summer market.
