Perhaps one of the most discussed transfer sagas this summer was the signing of midfielder Luis Chávez from Mexico’s Pachuca to Dynamo Moscow. For the first time, a message about a possible transition appeared a little over a month ago, on July 14, to be exact. From that moment on, a long and painful negotiation process between the clubs began, which will finally end in just a couple of days.
Initially it was supposed that the Mexican would be in Moscow already on July 20, but due to the current situation, the transfer of money from the Russian team to the Pachuca account turned out to be extremely complicated. Therefore, the Mexican had to rescue his own contract with the club. The scheme turned out to be such that at first Chavez would receive about 7 million from the blue and whites, pay it himself to terminate the contract and conditionally become a free agent in order to sign an agreement with Dynamo without problems in this state. .

The whole process took almost a month. Many have already lost hope that such a necessary midfielder in the current situation will join the ranks of Marcel Lichka’s team, but despite all the difficulties, Louis ended up in Moscow. By comparison, it took CSKA much less time to complete the transfer of Chilean striker Dávila, which was arranged in a similar way.

For this he had to travel a long way that took him almost a day due to difficulties with the logistics of the flights. As a result, Chávez landed in Vnukovo only on the afternoon of August 24. Many journalists went to meet the player at the airport, including the “Soviet Sport” correspondent. In addition, several blue and white fans arrived at the arrivals area, creating a nice background for the image of the player’s arrival.

After Chavez was in the arrivals area, the fans presented him with a nice gift in the form of a scarf, after which the player was immediately surrounded by journalists. The Mexican was in a good mood, but his red eyes showed that the only thing he was thinking about at that moment was how to get to the hotel fast and sleep. However, Louis answered a few questions. In particular, he stated that he was very glad to finally be in Moscow and that he was already looking forward to the battle.
The Mexican also shared his rather modest knowledge about Russia, he has not yet communicated with any of his future partners, he knows almost nothing about our country, but, of course, the footballer knows the stereotypes about vodka and bears.
It’s even a bit embarrassing. But the main thing is the playing qualities. Chávez talked a bit about his strengths on the field. He pointed out that he loves intense football and is always ready to hit the opponent’s goal. The Dynamo game impresses him, he managed to watch several games while he was in Mexico.

Well, we can say for sure that Dynamo in this transfer window cannot be denied the ability to wait and believe that in the current situation it becomes very important for Russian teams. Defender Lichka was really needed, and now the Muscovites, already quite high in the table, can breathe a sigh of relief and seriously count on a high place in the sun in the championship standings.
