Independiente expects an improved offer to seriously consider the transfer, while Pachuca analyzes the next steps. The future of Lomónaco, one of the most sought-after center-backs in Argentine football, thus enters a decisive phase that could be resolved in the coming days depending on the movement of the investment group. If the move goes through, Lomónaco would join the Liga MX, a market that in recent years has been characterized by investing in young footballers with projection and potential for revaluation. For now, the negotiation remains open and in the evaluation phase. Buenos Aires, November 26 (NA) – The Pachuca Group presented a formal offer to Independiente de Avellaneda to acquire central defender Kevin Joel Lomónaco. The initial offer was $7.5 million for 70% of his pass, a figure that, while representing a concrete and serious interest, did not meet the economic demands of the 'Red'. Currently, Independiente owns 75% of the player's contract, so the offer not only fell short of expectations in terms of valuation but would also require defining how the remaining percentage would be resolved, something the management considers a key aspect in any future negotiation. Despite rejecting the amount, the Avellaneda club did not close the door on continuing talks and left the possibility of moving forward if Pachuca decides to raise the proposal. The 'King of Cups' stance is directly linked to Lomónaco's strategic role in the team. The defender has established himself as a fundamental pillar and a key structural piece in the last season, so letting him go would imply not only a significant economic move but also an immediate sporting challenge for the coaching staff led by Gustavo Quinteros. In this way, the management understands that any eventual transfer must reflect the player's real market value and the impact his departure would have on the structure of the first team. According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the destination the Pachuca Group would give the defender would be Club León, one of the institutions that are part of the Mexican group's business consortium.
