Brazilian club Fluminense has made an offer of $4 million for 100% of the forward Alexis Cuello's transfer rights, a proposal that San Lorenzo has deemed insufficient due to the payment terms and the offered amount. Following the rejection from the 'blue-and-red' club, sources in Brazil assure that this was a first move and they will return with a superior offer in the coming hours. In Boedo, they have a very clear stance: the offer must be close to $6 million to sit down to negotiate for the team's top scorer. The former Almagro player is listed as the third option to reinforce the forward line of the club coached by Luis Zubeldía, although the Rio de Janeiro executives are the ones who have opted to advance more forcefully for the striker's services due to his current form in Argentine football. Within the inner circle of San Lorenzo's technical staff, the news was not well received. Damián Ayudenes wants Cuello to leave, as he considers him a fundamental piece in the starting eleven. However, if Fluminense raises a second offer and meets the demands set in Boedo, the fifth-round match against 'El Tatengue' could be the striker's last match with the 'blue-and-red' jersey. In what has gone of 2026, the 'Cyclone's' number nine has scored two goals and provided two assists, being the player with the most goals + assists for the team so far in the tournament. With the calendar upon them and the transfer market still active, the team coached by Ayudenes is already thinking about the match against Unión de Santa Fe this Friday at 22:15 hs.
