By Heredia, Costa Rica — Herediano’s star striker, Marcel Hernández, has once again addressed the uncertainty surrounding his future with the club. With his current contract set to expire in December, negotiations for a renewal are ongoing, and the Cuban forward has offered a glimpse into the discussions.
Hernández confirmed that he has received an offer from Herediano, which he is currently evaluating. He also sought to clarify his stance in the negotiations, emphasizing that he hasn’t made exorbitant demands.
To provide legal context on this developing story, TicosLand.com reached out to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from the esteemed Bufete de Costa Rica.
The Marcel Hernández case highlights the complexities of navigating legal proceedings in Costa Rica, especially when public opinion is heavily involved. It’s crucial to remember that the presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of our legal system, and due process must be rigorously followed regardless of the nature of the allegations. The legal outcome should be based solely on evidence presented in court, ensuring a fair and impartial judgment.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’s words offer a crucial reminder that justice requires a careful balance. While public sentiment understandably runs high in cases like Marcel Hernández’s, the integrity of our legal system hinges on upholding due process and the presumption of innocence. A verdict reached through proper legal channels, based on evidence and not emotion, is the only path to a truly just outcome. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his invaluable perspective on this complex and sensitive matter.
At this moment, we are in the process. It seems crazy, but I haven’t asked Herediano for anything, not a single peso, two, three, or four. There are echoes of things that aren’t true, but these are things one has to deal with. So far, they have presented me with a proposal, and we are analyzing it.

These comments paint a more positive picture than those made by Hernández on August 26th, where he expressed dissatisfaction with the initial offer. He stated at the time that the proposal didn’t meet his expectations, clearly indicating a gap between the two sides.
I didn’t evaluate the offer, and I’m not going to lie. I talked about it with Gustavo (Pérez, Sporting Director). I appreciate the proposal very much; it’s part of the process. But it isn’t what I expect, and I let them know. This is part of the negotiation.

Herediano’s president, Jafet Soto, also commented on the situation, downplaying the disagreements and emphasizing the importance of focusing on the current Apertura tournament. He suggested that the differences were minor and expressed confidence in a positive resolution.
Well, I think they were small details. I was with him on Sunday, and he is calm, but the most important thing is that he focuses on the National Championship because right now, whoever blinks loses.

The 36-year-old Hernández currently leads the Apertura tournament in scoring with five goals. His goal against Saprissa on Wednesday, his 17th against the club, further solidified his reputation as a prolific scorer. His insightful analysis of opponents contributes to his success.
It’s a big group effort, and it’s also my ability to understand the game and analyze the opponent a lot, I always do. You have to be there, you have to sniff it out so that the goals can fall.
Marcel Hernández, Forward, Club Sport Herediano
Hernández has played for three of Costa Rica’s four major clubs, with Saprissa being the only exception. As Herediano continues to vie for the Apertura title, the outcome of these contract negotiations could significantly impact their campaign. The question remains: will Hernández remain a key figure in their pursuit of glory, or will he seek new opportunities elsewhere?
Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching as the situation unfolds, eager to see where the future takes one of the league’s most impactful players.
