Attention, River fans! Get ready because this story will make your blood boil. Facundo Medina, that defender we saw shine in the blue and white in the friendly against Austria, had a millionaire past that didn’t end well! And no, it’s no joke. At 18, the kid left for Talleres, and now everyone asks: what happened?
The reality is that Medina didn’t leave for no reason. At River, the club didn’t give him the place he deserved. They saw potential in him, but between financial urgencies and lack of patience, they ended up selling him. Crazy! Because today, the same kid who dreamed of the red band is a star in the Argentine National Team and at Lens in France.
Can you imagine having a national team defender and letting him go for peanuts? That’s what happened. River received an offer from Talleres and didn’t hesitate. But time, which is wise, put everyone in their place. Medina shines in Europe, plays at the elite level, and even has the privilege of defending the Scaloneta jersey. You won’t believe it!
And watch out, this isn’t a fairy tale. The facts are there: Facundo Medina debuted at River at 18 but barely played minutes. The club needed money and Talleres showed up with some cash. They bought him, helped him grow, and then sold him to Europe for much more money. Meanwhile, River was left wanting a national team defender in their squad.
Today, every time we see Medina in the blue and white, it hurts a little. Because he could be at the Monumental, being a star of Argentine football. But well, that’s football: sometimes it gives you joy and other times it slaps you in the face. The important thing is that the kid shines and represents Argentina with pride. Go Scaloneta!
And you, what do you think? Did River rush to sell him or was it a necessary business? Leave your comment and share this madness with your friends. Don’t miss out on the conversation!
