The 31 professional missions read great, but in season he was much less on the pitch. In the last calendar year in which Velez played a top year under Quinteros, Montoro had 234 minutes which does not correspond to three complete games. The view of the performance data confirms what I have perceived from the games: no starfel fine and still well hit with the stamp “supplementary player”.
Montoro comes this season and most recently after changing the coach, but he is still far away from the level of development in order to be able to play a weighty role straight away at a European club. Certainly, it is more difficult for you to start weakly, but you should be so honest, the player is currently again a top performer in Argentina’s first division, so two decent copa libertadores cannot blur my impression.
So I understand the interest because (again) you want to get a talent from South America cheaply and bet on the future, but you should be realistic that he still has many development steps to be a real alternative for the traded teams. Echeverri was much further and is also introduced to City as a perspective solution than immediate help.
You can see at Sarco that it may not be so wrong to take “real” steps in the home club before moving out into the wide world.
