Not over until the bloke actually signs the contract his club is talking about.

Surely four out of 12: Argentina, Columbia, Ecuador and Paraguay. And when we get Diaz, we'll have Chile wrapped up

Looks like Lucas Assadi may be our Chilean wonder kid.

However, it seems unlikely that we can get this over the line before the end of the window now.

And its likely, even if he doesn't sign a new contract, that we will find ourselves with extra competition for his signature come January.

Not necessarily. We didn't with Enciso.

His agent just gave an interview and he's pretty pissed (sorry for the bad translation, my English isn't that great lol):

"We don't want anything to do with this board (directors?). We had a meeting with Brighton, at that moment, Buonanotte didn't have a contract with the club and could leave by custody (I'm not sure how to translate this? It means essentially that because he's a minor his parents can just decide to move to England, for example, and he can choose to go to a different club without actually being sold). He also had a 2M release clause.
This back and forth has surprised us. We had everything agreed upon. We were starting to exchange the paperwork with the Brighton representatives, and now this happens.
At first, it was 5 or 6M, then 6M in bonuses, all achievable. Later, a 20% sell-on clause. It could've been the best sale in Central's history. An offer from a Premier League club doesn't arrive for every player, and especially a 17-year-old. Buonanotte's sale could've left more money than Julian Alvarez's.
This shows how unserious (?) Central is. All of this through the media, it's pathetic."

On Brighton: "They can't believe it. Brighton is playing and they're sending messages. They're surprised. We had a meeting for 15 hours here in Madrid to find a solution, the best thing for the club.

According to him, Central now wants to improve his contract and set a 20M release clause. Still, he insists they want nothing to do with this administration. He said he kept trying to call Carloni (Central's president) and didn't get an answer and even Facundo called him and no answer.

Thanks!

To bad his club are trying to balloting up.

I thought the same ! Makes you wonder if it translates into ‘f***ing good night’ !

So close to meaning “fertile good night”. If we get him, we need to sign Buendia from Villa - what a pairing that would be…

Reports in South America are saying we’re back in touch over making the move happen. Rosario want us to improve on our $6m basic, plus $6m potential add ons though. Balls in our court presently.

Looking at reports his contract is up in June. They've got some serious balls if they don't sell in January...

Makes sense with Mwepu's unfortunate retirement, build for the future.

If any other party does register an interest, we won't get involved in a bidding war.

Of course - that said - most of the reporting on this in the summer hinted that, like Enciso, we’d be back. So it’s not a surprise.

I think we have building for the future for some time now haven't we? with or without Enock.

We have? I hadn't noticed

It is a continuous process of course.

Agent saying deal closed.

Agent confirms "deal is closed" with Brighton - Seagulls "the only candidate", working on transfer for two months - Sport Witness

Brighton and Hove Albion remain interested in youngster Facundo Buonanotte, with his agent confirming as much. Buonanotte was targeted by Brighton throughout the summer, and it was believed a deal would take place, with confidence from all parties than an agreement was in price. However, a move...
