“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Millonarios, and it is not being withdrawn.

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Brandon Caicedo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Atletico Bucaramanga the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Eder Balanta hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Barranquilla can pretend not to have heard.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
