With a leadership structure rearmed until the early elections in May, Independiente finally has a valid interlocutor to advance the great desire of Gustavo Quinteros.
What until a few days ago was a “broken phone” due to the institutional crisis of the Cyclone, today seems to have a clearer horizon. Independiente, like other clubs interested in figures from San Lorenzocould not find anyone to sit down and negotiate with in San Lorenzo.
Finally, this Monday a new extraordinary Assembly was held, in which it was Sergio Constantino as the provisional president until the early elections that will take place in May 2026, that is, for five months, San Lorenzo has a new president. Then, with the positions of the Board of Directors already divided and an interim presidency established, the ball moved to the field of the red leadership: Will the formal offer be sent for Alexis Cuello?
It is not new that Alexis Cuello is the name that heads the list of reinforcements for the coaching staff. The attacker, figure and scorer of the Barça team in the last year, seduces Quinteros not only for his scoring ability, but for his versatility: it can be the area reference that the team needs or go to extremes to generate imbalance.
But the interest is not only from the club. The player goes through a moment of deep discomfort in Boedo. The constant delays in the payment of salaries – he even legally intimated the club – and the institutional chaos made his intention to be go out in this transfer market. Cuello is looking for economic stability and a sports project that has him as the protagonist, something that the King of Cups can offer him.
The financial situation of the Boedo team is critical, which could play in favor of a quick negotiation, although not necessarily cheap. San Lorenzo urgently needs to raise money to face a desolate panorama of 14 inhibitions in force yun bankruptcy petition for 5 million dollars.
However, in San Lorenzo they do not plan to “give away” their best asset. After having paid Almagro 1 million dollars for his transfer, the new provisional leadership would value the forward at a figure close to 4 million dollars.
For Independiente’s economy, 4 million dollars is an extremely high figure. However, San Lorenzo’s urgency to settle its debts and the player’s desire to emigrate could open the door to negotiating.
In this way, it is worth asking: now that San Lorenzo has an armed leadership structure, will Independiente advance formally for Alexis Cuello?
