The biggest football clubs in Argentina, including River Plate, Boca Juniors, Racing, Independiente, and San Lorenzo, are already active in the transfer market, aiming to build the best possible squads for 2026. Racing Club, which will lose right-back Facundo Mura and forward Luciano Vietto, is strongly targeting Matko Miljevic to reinforce their attack and provide better support for Adrián "Maravilla" Martínez. Although there is no agreement yet between Racing's management and Huracán (Miljevic's current club), it is expected that the parties will come closer in the coming days, and the player with US nationality could become a new "Academia" player in 2026. Due to Mura's departure, coach Gustavo Costas plans to give a chance to Tobías Rubio, who is returning from his loan at Defensa y Justicia. Meanwhile, Independiente is set to part ways with Joaquín Blázquez, Nicolás Freire, Diego Fernández Cedrés, and Federico Mancuello. Coach Gustavo Quinteros will also test several players returning from their loans, such as Juan Fedorco, Santiago López, and Javier Ruiz. For 2026, Quinteros insists that the board bring in a central defender, a midfielder, and a forward. In their search, the names being mentioned include Colo-Colo's Chilean midfielder Vicente Pizarro, while the forwards being scouted are Alexis Cuello (San Lorenzo) and Nicolás Ibáñez (Tigre). River Plate, which faces numerous departures of legendary players like Milton Casco, Enzo Pérez, Ignacio Fernández, and Gonzalo Martínez, has begun active work. The new management, led by President Stéfano Di Carlo, quickly secured the arrivals of midfielders Aníbal Moreno from Palmeiras (Brazil) for $7 million and Fausto Vera on a one-year loan from Atlético Mineiro, also from Brazil, with a $500,000 fee and a $4 million option to buy. Boca Juniors, for its part, will not have four players available for 2026: Agustín Martegani, Lucas Janson, Nicolás Orsini, and Norberto Briasco. However, there are no concrete advances yet. Finally, San Lorenzo will face the most complications due to its transfer bans and disastrous institutional situation, with Marcelo Moretti desperately trying to keep his presidency regardless of the damage to the "Cyclone". To be able to sign players, San Lorenzo must lift transfer bans close to four million dollars, while it is mainly receiving offers for its Colombian defender Jhohan Romaña and forward Alexis Cuello.
