Andrés Felipe Román would already have his future ready beyond Millonarios

The rumors that Infobae reported at the time regarding the future of footballer Andrés Felipe Román, today in the service of Millonarios, seem to be clarified this week. The winger would be evaluating an offer from Atlético Nacional, but his desire is to be able to go out to international football. As a fan who is of the ambassador club, he understands that a transaction like this could complicate his relationship with the albiazules fans. However, if the purslane put good money on the table, he and his agent would be willing to sign.

Many fans, through social networks, have already expressed their discomfort at the player's decision. While he hasn't participated much in the current campaign, they don't want him to leave. He has been branded a traitor and ungrateful. The club offered him a renewal of his contract, but he did not accept it, arguing that he would have offers from abroad and was evaluating them with his agent. So far, it is unknown which teams are interested and the most concrete option continues to target Antioquia's green team.

It should be remembered that Roman was about to leave for Argentine football in 2021, specifically to Boca Juniors, but his transfer was frustrated due to a medical problem, a heart failure, which the player presented and that, to this day, he has managed to overcome and in the words of some specialists it did not even exist. The Xeneizes completely ruled out the player and there was talk that Millonarios even filed a lawsuit with the Argentine club for its behavior with the Colombian, but it was later clarified, by its president Enrique Camacho, that this had not been the case.

The fact is that the player does not want to wear the blue shirt anymore, at least this season, and would be looking, according to an article published by the newspaper Marca, to certify the purchase of part of his rights to give them to Millonarios, as a gesture of thanks. The footballer has been listed on the market, beyond the mishap with the Argentines, for his good performance in the local tournament in recent months. Performance that has even earned him to be taken into account in the Colombia National Team. At 26 years old, Roman is determined to look for a new air and, hopefully, in a different football. If a club gets their token, the transfer could be worth around 2.5 million euros, an estimated figure according to the Transfermarkt portal.

Negotiations with the player began at the end of last year, when it became certain about his medical condition. There were many comments about a possible bad relationship with the club's managers, but according to its president, Enrique Camacho, this is not the case and it is more of an aspirational situation on the part of the player. He doesn't want a higher salary, but a chance on another team.

In fact, a few days ago, at the Millonarios' assembly, President Camacho said that communication with the player is on good terms and that they remain firm with the idea of negotiating renewal, but they understand that international renting is a tempting option for any footballer and they could not compete with that player desire.

Atlético Nacional is following him closely. In an interview with El Alargue de Caracol Radio, the purdolaga president Emilio Gutiérrez mentioned that the player is in the folder of the paisa club. “We understand that contract ends in June. Like any important player in the league, it is always an option, but they are not situations that we will publicly value. We are not in the task of speculating, but of judiciously assessing the options that we consider appropriate. When the time comes, we communicate them. But at the moment it belongs to a direct rival of Atlético Nacional and we don't go in to make any assessment.”

Whether it's the green team or anyone else, Andrés Felipe Román's decision to leave has been made. It will be necessary to see if he participates in the games of his team to attract the interest of more clubs. The next Millonarios' match will be on Sunday, against America de Cali, which has just been left without a coach, at the Pascual Guerrero Stadium.
