Independiente of Avellaneda has recently received a formal offer from Italian Pisa for Chilean midfielder Felipe Loyola. The proposal was 7 million euros for 70% of his rights, plus a purchase option for the remaining 30% valued at 4.5 million, a deal being evaluated by the Rojo's leadership, which is also analyzing the inclusion of a plusvalía clause, while the parties finalize details to attempt to close the agreement. The interest from the Italian side is not new, but on this occasion, it has translated into concrete numbers that are shaking the market and placing Loyola at the center of the scene. To this amount, a future option of 1.7 million dollars for the remaining 30% would be added, which would considerably increase the total value of the transfer. However, the leadership is still working on a key aspect: the inclusion of a plusvalía clause, which would allow Independiente to receive a percentage in the event of a subsequent sale of the player in the European market. Signs of the outcome: Loyola is not playing and the chances of his departure are growing. The progress of the negotiations is already beginning to be reflected on the sporting front. The midfielder has become a key piece since his arrival at Independiente, standing out for his versatility, his intensity in recovering the ball, and his ability to adapt to different tactical systems, qualities that have drawn the attention of European clubs. From Avellaneda, they are watching the operation with caution. Due to the current situation and while details are being finalized between the parties, Felipe Loyola will not be part of the lineup tonight in the friendly match against Everton of Viña del Mar, an absence that reinforces the hypothesis of an imminent resolution. Although the club is handling the matter with caution, the decision aims to avoid physical risks and preserve the player amid an ongoing transfer process. Thus, the Chilean midfielder remains on the sidelines while Independiente evaluates the final points of the operation, aware that the closing of the transfer could mark one of the most relevant moves of the market for the institution. In this sense, the leadership seeks that the sale not only yield economic returns but also provide room for maneuver for future signings. For the player, the interest from Pisa represents a concrete opportunity to make the leap to European football. The Italian club's sporting project, which aims to consolidate and grow competitively, appears as an attractive destination to continue his development and gain experience in a demanding physical and tactical context. With the conversations underway and several details still to be resolved, the negotiation enters a decisive stage. While the figure is considerable and represents an important financial opportunity for the institution, the leadership is carefully analyzing the structure of the rights. The technical staff values his consistency and tactical contribution, so any negotiation will be tied to the possibility of strengthening the squad without affecting the team's functioning.
