Matías Oyola, the sporting director of Barcelona Sporting Club, addressed the media regarding the absence of new player Luis Cano at the team's training sessions. Cano recently arrived in Guayaquil to undergo medical checks and sign a three-year contract with the club. However, the signing meeting has yet to take place, which has delayed Cano's official announcement as a new addition to the team. Oyola emphasized that only current training players are officially considered part of the club.

During his statements, Oyola clarified that the players currently training are those who belong to Barcelona SC, and there are ongoing negotiations concerning players not yet integrated into the team. He highlighted that factors external to the club are also being examined that might affect these negotiations. Oyola reassured fans and media that any further updates regarding new player integrations would be communicated on a day-to-day basis.

The situation reflects the complexities often involved in player transfers, where negotiations, medical check-ups, and official announcements are intricately linked. The delay in Cano’s signing might spark discussions on the club's strategy in the transfer market and the implications for team dynamics as the season progresses. With the emphasis on current players, Oyola’s comments suggest a focus on stable integration into the team before adding new members.
