Vélez Sarsfield has successfully completed the signing of Kevin Vázquez, who joins the team with a contract that extends until December 2028. Vázquez is a talented midfielder born in Morón, an area influenced by Vélez, who has experience with Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero.
During his time at Central Córdoba, Vázquez played 38 matches and scored two goals, showing good performance that caught Vélez’s attention. Despite this, the Santiago club decided not to exercise the purchase option, which opened the doors for Vélez to secure the player's services.
Vázquez's arrival comes at a time when Vélez Sarsfield is undergoing reconstruction following the departure of coach Gustavo Quinteros, midfielder Claudio Aquino, and defender Valentín Gómez, key pieces in the championship-winning team of the Liga Profesional. Additionally, Joaquín García's injury and the possible sale of Christian Ordóñez have created the need to strengthen the team.
Sebastián Domínguez, the new coach of Vélez, has expressed the urgency to reinforce the midfield to maintain the level that led the club to obtain the title, especially after the defeat suffered in the opening match of the championship. The incorporation of Vázquez has sparked speculation about his emotional connection with Vélez, as the player has a background in the club's youth divisions.
A highlighted aspect of this signing is the agreement reached between Vélez Sarsfield and Ferro Carril Oeste, traditional rivals from the West of Buenos Aires, who will share 50% of Vázquez's federative rights. This partnership between two historically rival clubs dating back over two decades adds an interesting component to the player's arrival at Vélez.
With his move to Vélez Sarsfield, Kevin Vázquez manages to unite two fierce enemies in a move that, besides being curious, is shaping up to be a key strategic element for the midfielder's future in his new stage at Vélez.
