San Martín Bolsters Roster for First Division Return
As San Martín gears up for its highly anticipated return to Argentina’s First Division in 2025, the club has wasted no time in making moves to strengthen its squad. On the final day of a triumphant 2024, the team announced its first signing, confirmed two key renewals, and hinted at the potential arrival of a seasoned defender.
The newest addition to the “Purruco” Antuña-led squad is winger Damián Adín, arriving from Quilmes. Adín, who can compete with “Chaco” Molina for a starting position, made 35 appearances last season, scoring once while wearing the cervecero jersey. While his contract belongs to Dock Sud, Adín recently renewed his agreement with the club and will join San Martín on loan.
Adding to the excitement, two familiar faces from the 2024 squad are set to remain with the team. “Chaco” Molina and Gino Olguín have both agreed to terms, joining Ezequiel Montagna, rodrigo Cáseres, Maxi Casa, and Dante Álvarez in what promises to be a formidable lineup.
Meanwhile, rumors are swirling about the potential arrival of Luciano Recalde, a central defender currently playing for Banfield. Standing at an imposing 1.85 meters tall and left-footed, Recalde could be available to join San Martín if his loan with Banfield is terminated. His experience playing for Rosario Central, Platense, and even Ecuadorian side Deportivo Cuenca makes him a valuable asset.
With these strategic moves, San Martín is demonstrating its commitment to building a competitive team capable of making a strong impression upon its return to the First Division. The club’s proactive approach to recruitment and retention suggests a bright future for the “Santo” faithful.
