The board of Cruz Azul headed by engineer Victor Velazquez, does not want the squad of the Maquina Celeste to begin to dismember and for that reason they announced the renewal for three years of Argentine Carlos Rodolfo Rotondi, who has become a key player in the Cement team.

The new agreement with Rotondi will be for the next three years, with which the cement organization continues to protect its squad by having renewed Gonzalo Piovi, Lorenzo Faravelli and Erik Lira, with which little by little the sky blue squad continues to protect itself to be able to achieve the maximum achievements in the short term.

Rotondi, a player who arrived at the same time as the Uruguayan Diego Alonso, could not get into rhythm at Cruz Azul until after two tournaments, just when the board made an adjustment to his salary, which ended his anger and annoyances within the Cement team to begin to bear fruit and be considered as one of its key players.

Now in the new agreement with the Cement Machine, the contract termination clause rose from $4 million dollars (approximately $74 million dollars) to $11 million dollars (approximately $203 million dollars). dollars approximately), which made his salary increase quite attractive to stay until 2028 with the La Noria organization.

Cruz Azul announces it on X

The board of directors of Cruz Azul, as in the previous renewals of its players, announced the agreement with the Argentine Carlos Rodolfo Rotondi through its official X account: "Rodolfo Rotondi renews with La Maquina to continue giving his soul in each game. Dedication, sacrifice and commitment on and off the field. Let's continue building history together!"

Improvements in Rotondi's contract

It is a fact that Cruz Azul is satisfied with Rotondi's performance and it is assured, according to unofficial sources, that the salary increase was quite considerable, to the point that the agreement he signed a year ago was not moved, that is, it will end in 2028,but the only thing that has changed is the increase in the player's salary so that he can feel valued.

Now the left-sided midfielder of La Maquina will remain with the Celeste organization until 2028 and his salary will be very close to the top figures of the cement team, especially due to his great performance in the last three tournaments.

Currently, Rotondi is one of the most active players and in more than 120 games played since his arrival in 2022 from Defensa y Justicia of Argentina, he has established himself as one of its greatest exponents to the point that not long ago Tigres made a juicy offer for his services, but Cruz Azul decided to keep him as an asset.
