When it seemed that his arrival to Racing was getting closer, it finally got complicated and Facundo Farías is moving away from the Academy, which in parallel accelerated for the Paraguayan Richard Sánchez and agreed with América, although the contract with the 28-year-old forward remains to be arranged.
Although the ex-Colón did not travel to Las Vegas for the friendly that his team, Inter Miami, tied 2-2 with América on Saturday night and his future is uncertain, the Garzas intend to get rid of him through a sale and are asking for 4.5 million dollars, a sum that the Avellaneda club is not willing to pay for a player who practically had no playing time in 2024 due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
For that reason, if these conditions are maintained, the 22-year-old will not go to Racing, which will pay 4 million US dollars for the Paraguayan who emerged from River de Paraguay and went through Olimpia before landing in Mexico. In turn, he played the 2019 and 2021 Copa América with the Albirroja. If the contract is arranged, he will be the fourth reinforcement after the arrivals of Matías Zaracho, Adrián Balboa and Ignacio Rodríguez.
It should be noted that in the middle of the negotiations with Racing, there is another situation that seeks Farías because Estudiantes got into the negotiation. Coach Eduardo Domínguez, who directed the forward in Colón de Santa Fe during his first steps, wants to take him to Pincha, one of the clubs that handles the largest wallet since the arrival of the Foster Gillett Group. Chance that begins to gain more and more strength as the hours go by. Valentín Gómez leaves Vélez: the Italian clubs that want him
Let the third time be the charm. That is the wish that Valentín Gómez is asking for, one of the most sought-after defenders in the transfer markets, but with little luck in closing the latest negotiations. First it was the medical review with the City Group, which was going to link him with River and more recently, the frustrated transfer to Cruzeiro due to changes in the payment conditions.
Faced with these situations, an investment group took action on the matter and would be in charge of fulfilling the dream of the central defender of Fortín champion of the 2024 Professional League to go to the Old Continent: the two clubs in Italy that want him.
The formal offer from the investment group that would not be Foster Gillet’s is around 9 million euros, which would be equivalent to about 10 million dollars, for 80% of the transfer. The rest of the percentage would go 10% to the Liniers institution and another 10% to the player.
One of the clubs most interested in acquiring the services of the 21-year-old is Bologna, an old acquaintance for Fortín: in 2020 the Italian team bought the pass of Nicolás Domínguez – today in Nottingham Forest – and at the beginning of 2024, the Rossoblu acquired Santiago Castro, the forward who shares a team with Benjamín Domínguez, another Argentine. However, in the last few hours, Lazio got into the fight.
Franco Paredes will be Independiente’s new reinforcement
Independiente pulled another reinforcement out of the hat. When the waters of the transfer market seemed to calm down, this Monday it was confirmed that it reached an agreement with River to buy a defender who will not be considered by Marcelo Gallardo in 2025 but who has just stood out in the last Professional League.
The protagonist of this transfer is Franco Paredes, who shone last season on loan at Sarmiento and returned this summer to Millonario, owner of his pass. Although he is a versatile player, who can play both as a right back and as a centre-back, the truth is that Núñez is overpopulated with champions (Gonzalo Montiel and Lucas Martínez Quarta arrived a few days ago) and he is not in Muñeco’s plans.
The one who does plan to give him a chance this season is Julio Vaccari. The coach followed him closely and knows very well everything he can contribute to the Rojo’s back line. That is why Rojo decided to make an economic effort and will pay River a significant sum (the exact figures have not yet been revealed, but it will be close to a million) to keep 50% of his transfer, signing him a three-year contract.
