Argentine Clubs Reinforce Squares Before Apertura Start

Argentine football clubs continue to announce new signings to strengthen their squads and fight for top positions, just days before the start of the Torneo Apertura.

Such is the case of Independiente Rivadavia, which, facing a year where it will play the long-awaited Copa Libertadores, has incorporated three reinforcements, including the jewel from River Plate, Bautista Dadín, with a release clause of 100 million euros. Dadín will be on loan for a year at the "Lepra mendocina". However, the Núñez club can use the buy-back option mid-year, if coach Marcelo Gallardo requests it or if any unforeseen event occurs during the 2026 season. Additionally, they signed Rodrigo Atencio, on loan for a year with a purchase option from Sport Club Do Recife, and Kevin Vázquez from Vélez Sarsfield.

The Liniers club, for its part, said goodbye to two players, besides Vázquez himself. Tomás Cavanagh was loaned to Danubio of Uruguay, free of charge and without a purchase option, while Leonel Roldán went to Juventud Las Piedras for a fee of 80 thousand dollars and a purchase option of 500 thousand dollars for 100% of the pass, leaving "El Fortín" with a plus-valía of 50%.

On the other hand, Talleres de Córdoba, which on the same day presented Colombian Diego Valoyes and Bruno Barticciotto, officially announced the arrival of Ronaldo Martínez, whose last stop was Platense, a team with which he won the Apertura and was the top scorer of the Clausura with 8 goals. "La T" acquired the sporting and economic rights to the player definitively, and the forward is already training with the squad. "I chose Talleres for the challenges and also because Carlos Tévez is going to coach me," expressed the former "Calamar".

Furthermore, the Córdoba squad announced the signing of Juan Sforza, a midfielder from Newell's who also played in Brazil for Juventude. "I can't wait to play at the Coloso," the player expressed at his presentation.

Meanwhile, Defensa y Justicia said goodbye to Alexis Soto after his loan to Rosario Central.
