  1. Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy

    Moderate
    Cause
    The squad's wage hierarchy is the underlying issue. The gap to the squad's top earners has become a daily reminder.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
  2. Wants Copa Libertadores football

    Serious
    Cause
    His South American heritage and ambition push him toward a Copa Libertadores side. (He is openly ambitious.; The club has no realistic path to continental football.)

    Contract request risk increased.
  3. Squad status changed

  4. Asked the manager for a private conversation

  8. Rotated out for this match

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Juan Román Gimenez was preferred — a chance to give him cup minutes.

  10. Supporters lifted him after a decisive contribution

    Moderate

  11. Reassured by a calm full-time message
