With 0 goals, 1 assist, and 1 expulsion in 14 matches, Darío Benedetto terminated his contract with Olimpia, a club he joined just five months ago. The forward had arrived in Paraguay as a star signing, but his stint ended prematurely and without results. This Monday, the club confirmed his departure.
"After discussions between the parties, it has been mutually agreed to terminate the contractual relationship with the footballer Darío Benedetto. This decision will take effect immediately," the institution announced through its social media.
The striker will receive his salary until May, thus marking a third consecutive departure through contract termination, as had already happened at Boca and then at Querétaro, in Mexico.
His time at the Dean was lackluster, as he failed to find his place or contribute on the field. In addition to his goal drought, he was left without a coach after the departure of Martín Palermo, lost the Paraguayan Super Cup, was eliminated from the Libertadores in the group stage, and Olimpia is far from the leader in the local championship.
