Carlos Verona likely to set aside INEOS Grenadiers negotiations and renew with Movistar

In an unexpected twist in the cycling world, Spanish rider Carlos Verona is in the final stages of negotiations to renew his contract with Movistar Team. Although Verona was thought to have a firm agreement with INEOS Grenadiers, the folks at MARCA have revealed that he is on the verge of signing a new contract with the Spanish team.

With 30 years of age and five seasons under the Movistar Team jersey, Carlos Verona has proven to be a fundamental pillar in the Spanish team. His upward trajectory in recent years has catapulted him as one of the most outstanding domestiques in the international peloton. Not only has he shone in his support role, but he has also demonstrated his ability to achieve victories on important days, as he did in last year's Criterium du Dauphiné.

Verona's future seemed sealed at the beginning of this season, when it was reported that he had received a tempting offer from INEOS. Talks pointed to an imminent deal and, in the face of this, even within Movistar they began to assume his departure. However, as happens on many occasions in cycling, the scenario changed drastically.

The relationship between Verona and Movistar Team seems to have played a key role in this unexpected turn of events. The trust and support he has received in the Spanish team could have been determining factors in his choice to stay. In addition, the opportunity to continue developing in an environment where he has proven his worth could have weighed in his final decision.

While the news has not yet been officially confirmed by any of the parties involved, rumors have spread like wildfire in the cycling world. Fans of both Movistar and Carlos Verona are eagerly awaiting the outcome of a story that has taken a completely unexpected turn.
