Buenos Aires, December 26 (ANA) – Independiente is beginning to move in the transfer market with the aim of reinforcing itself as best as possible for 2026, and one of the players they have in their sights is forward Alexis Cuello, a product of Racing. According to what the Argentine News Agency was able to find out, Independiente's coach, Gustavo Quinteros, has requested at least one reinforcement in defense, midfield, and forward. It is because of this request that the board of Independiente views the possible arrival of Cuello favorably, who had a very good 2025 at San Lorenzo, where he became a fundamental piece for the team currently coached by Damian Ayude. In 36 matches played this year, the forward scored six goals and provided one assist, although he was key to the offense of the Boedo team. Alexis Cuello, the forward who interests Independiente. Cuello came up through Racing, although he never had opportunities and did not make his first-team debut with the "Academy." This is why for the 2019/2020 season he went to Barracas Central, but was then transferred to Instituto de Córdoba and later to Almagro, to finally land at San Lorenzo at the beginning of 2024. Despite the interest shown by Independiente, Cuello's arrival would not be easy at all, as San Lorenzo is asking for five million dollars, an unaffordable figure for the Avellaneda club, which is going through a delicate economic situation. This is why Independiente would try to pay a smaller sum and include some players in the operation so that the transfer can finally be carried out. In any case, Boca is also interested in Cuello, so the Avellaneda club will not have it easy at all.
