The season that knocks on the doors continues to be shrouded in doubts and questions. Between programs yet to be defined and a roster waiting to be completed, the construction site remains open and the engine is still struggling to get up to full speed. In this scenario, attention inevitably focuses on the players with the greatest technical and economic weight. Among the most relevant contracts, that of Jaime Báez stands out.
The future of the Uruguayan striker still remains shrouded in uncertainty. There are no definitive signs at the moment, although an automatic renewal option had previously been provided. However, no precise guidelines filter through either from the club or from the player’s point of view. The renewal which will take effect automatically after June 30th provides a low termination clause in favor of the player (the Bruzio club also has the possibility of freeing itself from the commitment). The bond between Baez and Cosenza goes beyond the simple contractual aspect, he had also chosen to return from Peñarol to lend a hand to the rossoblù team, confirming a strong relationship with the environment and with the city. It certainly found less space than one might have expected.
The expectations were different, just as perhaps the idea of centrality that could accompany his return was different. But, in a possible new technical cycle, its permanence could have a precise meaning. Baez, due to his experience and knowledge of the environment, could in fact transform himself into a sort of mother hen for the younger ones, accompanying the growth of the group in a season that promises to be delicate. Such figures can have a weight that goes beyond the minutes played. If the club were to choose the path of continuity, also enhancing men capable of giving balance to the locker room, Baez’s name could become relevant again. If other assessments were to prevail, then they could part ways. In the middle there is a future yet to be defined, suspended between an automatic renewal, a strong bond with the city and the feeling that the final decision has not yet been made.
Kevin Cannavò’s story is also in the closing credits. The attacking winger, in fact, is destined to return to Venezia, the club that holds his contract, but the one in the lagoon will only be a formal transition, because the Venetian club should then loan him out again. Cosenza is not inclined to exercise the redemption option set at 700 thousand euros. An undoubtedly positive experience on the banks of the Crati which led him to the call-up of the Maltese national team. Yesterday, in fact, the eclectic midfielder made his debut in the second half of the friendly match between Slovakia and Malta, which ended 2-1 for the hosts. A good second half for the rossoblù player who, despite having managed to carve out a central role for himself in the Wolves’ project, will play away from “Marulla”.
