Peñarol Locks in Point Guard Roberto Acuña
Good news for Peñarol fans as club president Esteban Giri has confirmed that Roberto Acuña, the team’s point guard, has a valid contract with the club. "We rushed to sign him for a year and a half as soon as we arrived. It was a difficult position to fill, and it cost us a lot, but we’re happy to have him on board," Giri stated.
Luciano González’s Future Uncertain
However, the same cannot be said for Luciano González. "He has agreed to return to the League of Mexico, and he is free to go in December. If he chooses to leave, the door is open for him to return," Giri indicated. Fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for the enigmatic González.
Ignacio Bednarek Returns, Young Talent to See More Playing Time
Peñarol will welcome back Ignacio Bednarek from his loan at Argentino de Junín, with Facundo Tolosa, Nicolás Chiaraviglio, Tomás Chapero, and Gian Rossi also set to continue with the club. Giri emphasized that young talent will be given more opportunities this season: "We want the boys to play and be part of the rotation. We cannot recruit young players and then not put them on the court," the president explained.
Head Coach Dialogue and Long-Term Project
Giri has been actively involved in discussions with potential head coaches such as Guillermo Narvarte, Leonardo Costa, and Leo Gutiérrez. "I want to coincide with the head coach in terms of philosophy and goals for the team," Giri stated, indicating that he has a two-year project in mind and that cost control will be a priority.
Leandro Ramella’s Return Unlikely
Despite rumors of a possible return, Leandro Ramella seems unlikely to join Peñarol in the near future. "He has another year left on his contract with Quimsa and promised him a competitive team. His return is not in our plans," Giri disclosed.
Al Thornton’s Future Remains Unclear
As for the team’s American player, Al Thornton, Giri said that the forward has expressed a desire to continue playing for the club: "We would like him to continue, as he is a very good guy on and off the court. We’re in talks about his future," the president concluded.
