San Lorenzo would listen to offers of around £6 million for Adolfo Gaich with Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion interested in the Argentina international, according to L’Equipe.
The praise just keeps on rolling in for a striker who, while not the most prolific in the game, would strike fear into the heart of defenders anywhere due to his sheer size.
Gaich, standing tall at 6ft 3ins, is built like a train after all.
“He is an animal physically, but also technically strong. And then it has a lot of ‘garra’,” former AC Milan defender Luca Antonini tells MilanNews.
‘Garra’, for those of you not massively clued up on South American lexicon, essentially means a warrior’s spirit, the never-say-die attitude of a man wiling to shed blood, sweat and tears in search for three valuable points.
An attribute, then, that would appeal to both Marcelo Bielsa and Slaven Bilic amid claims in May that Gaich is a target for the Championship’s top two (Passione Inter and TYC).
San Lorenzo’s managing director, Diego Delladone, has already admitted that the 21-year-old man mountain will be sold this summer – probably for much less than his £13 million release clause too.
The fee is ‘totally negotiable’, he told FCInterNews.
Now, Nantes were taking a bit of a liberty when they put an opening offer of £2.5 million offer on the table.
But with L’Equipe claiming that the Albiceleste international could be available for as little as £6.5 million expect the bids to start rolling in for a man compared to both Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski recently.
