Colombian Edwin Cetré Denies Agent's Words About Desire to Play for River

Colombian Edwin Cetré came out to publicly clarify his situation and deny his own agent after being linked to River Plate based on a statement that caused a stir. The attacker denied having expressed a personal desire to play at the Núñez club and sought to end the controversy with a direct message about his present at Estudiantes de La Plata. The winger posted a story on his Instagram account rejecting the words of Giancarlo Uda, who had on Friday night stated that his client 'hopefully' could play for River. 'In recent hours, things have been said that do not reflect what I think or what I said,' Cetré expressed, marking a clear distance from those statements. In the same message, the attacker was firm regarding his professional stance: 'I have never talked about personal dreams linked to any club. I thank the fans for their support and the club for their respect. We continue,' he wrote, accompanied by symbols linked to Pincha, a gesture that reinforced his identification with the La Plata institution. The Colombian's clarifications came after Uda declared: 'Edwin is too grateful to Estudiantes, but if at some point he has to change teams, he told me he would hope to go to River Plate. As a professional, I understand that in football there are always offers, but they must be handled and resolved by the institutions, with respect,' he pointed out, making it clear that he had not participated in any public conversation about a possible transfer. Cetré also emphasized his current sporting form and his bond with Estudiantes: 'I am focused on my present, working day by day.'
