The echoes of the protest songs still bounce in the entrance hall of the Platea Erico del Libertadores de América “Ricardo Enrique Bochini“. The anger over the black debut in the Professional League championship, with the 3-1 defeat against Talleres was a new blow to Carlos Tevez’s Independiente, who left again without giving statements after a frustration. But on Monday it started with good news in Villa Domínico, to begin to change the negative waves.
Rodrigo Rey reached a total oral agreement with the leadership and will extend his contract until December 2026. In this way, the Avellaneda club secures a goalkeeper for a while and, in addition, with the continuity of Rey, it also treasures a figure of the team and one of the most beloved by the fans, who on Saturday before the match let out the odd whistle for some names on the squad. Tevez was not saved either.
Being able to close This agreement was one of the main concerns of the leadership. The talks between the parties had been going on for several weeks. The 33-year-old goalkeeper’s predisposition was always good and that was reflected in the progress in each match until a complete understanding was reached.
Rey, who in Rojo has a record of 57 goals conceded and 25 clean sheets in 61 games so far, will sign his new contract until the end of the mandate of this Board of Directors in the coming days and it will be made official by the institution.

One of the virtues of management Nestor Grindetti It is undoubtedly the handling of situations with links about to expire, something that clearly failed in Hugo Moyano’s cycle. However, there are still several players on the current squad who will end their contract in December of this year and need to start defining what they will do.
One of those cases, perhaps the most resonant, is that of the Chilean Mauricio Isla, undisputed starter and with a chance of getting on Ricardo Gareca’s Copa América list for the trans-Andean team. Iván Marcone (current captain), Damián Pérez, Joaquín Laso, Felipe Aguilar and Julio Buffarini are also in the same situation. And the loans of Gabriel Neves, Alex Luna and Ignacio Maestro Puch expire.
