As a substitute, the Argentine world champion fully satisfies his coach Pep Guardiola, who doesn't even want to know about the player's departure, even more so for a European rival.
However, in recent weeks, Bayern Munich have put their pawns on River Plate's former hopes and have even made good progress on the record. On the Bavarians' list to relaunch the attack, the 23-year-old was close to signing a loan deal with the German club, says journalist Florian Plettenberg.
But the abrupt departure from the sporting direction, embodied by Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic, would have cooled the trend, to the point that the Bundesliga winner dropped the case.
Faced with the intransigence of the Citizens, Munich now falls back on other no less striking tracks, called Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani. Pep Guardiola can breathe.
