Imperial Esports captain Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo has given his consent to transfer to FURIA Esports. However, the two clubs cannot agree on the transfer fee for the experienced esports player.
Transfer fee
According to information published by Dust2 Brasil, FURIA has offered a fee to Imperial that significantly differs from the amount stipulated in FalleN's contract. The offer, which is not disclosed, is even lower than the amount Imperial paid Team Liquid for Toledo in 2021.
It is expected that the transfer will be officially completed in the coming days. If FURIA is genuinely interested in signing the two-time world champion, they will need to come closer to the amount demanded by Imperial. Other organizations continue to monitor the situation, as paiN Gaming has also shown interest in FalleN. However, Imperial still hopes that he will ultimately decide to stay.
Restructuring in FURIA
One of the decisive factors influencing FalleN's choice was his desire to play together with KSCERATO and yuurih. Andrey arT Piavazan will also remain in the team, but another new player will be signed as Andre "drop" Abreu will be moved to the bench.
If FalleN joins FURIA, Rafael "saffee" Costa will lose his place in the starting lineup. This 28-year-old player joined the organization in 2021 when he was bought out from paiN. The future of saffee is uncertain.
When does FURIA play?
The next tournament for FURIA will be IEM Cologne 2023. The championship will take place from July 25th to August 6th in Germany. Teams will compete for a prize pool of one million dollars and a slot at IEM Katowice 2024. You can follow the schedule, results, and news of the competition at the link.
