Esquivel Piovi to Pincha? After arduous negotiations, in which it seemed that they could not find a middle ground between the interests of both institutions, the transfer is finally underway. If everything follows the conventional channels, the club from Núñez will acquire 80% of the transfer of the 23-year-old Santa Fe native in exchange for a little more than five million dollars.
From those 2.5 million for half of the transfer to these more than five for 80% there were tugs of war that will only come to fruition in time thanks to the fact that the closing of the Argentine soccer transfer market was extended for another week (it ends on January 30). Otherwise, the clubs would have had to speed up a negotiation that was never easy.
Marcelo Gallardo followed the talks with the Brazilian club closely, and last night only served to confirm the need to add a high-ranking left back. Enzo Díaz’s departure to San Pablo left Milton Casco as the only alternative to Marcos Acuña who, for now, is still not showing his best physical version. Therefore, the urgency and another large sum of money to reinforce an increasingly complete squad.
Esquivel has practically been two weeks without training alongside his teammates at Athletico Paranaense, after a 2024 in which he played no less than 53 games, thus becoming one of the key pieces of the Brazilian team.
The full-back who emerged from Unión de Santa Fe had a great year, but his decision was not to continue with the Curitiba team. His way of exerting pressure was not to be available in the first games of the state and asking that his departure to River be accepted.
Estudiantes insists on Ezequiel Piovi and made a new offer
Ezequiel Piovi, leader and captain of Liga de Quito, where he is highly valued athletically and humanly, is the one targeted by le Pincha. And after having failed in the first attempt to sign him, they now doubled the bet: they sent the player’s own representative to Ecuador to try to reach an agreement.
Although the situation is complex, the fact that his agent is present represents how much Estudiantes values him. El Pincha made a formal offer for the captain of Liga de Quito.
Without results that satisfy the needs of the coaching staff and that can fulfill the idea of making a jump in the position for the Copa Libertadores in the other names that came up – such as Carlos Benavidez -, the Technical Secretariat returned to the first option and made an important economic offer to give a definitive closure to the situation.
Estudiantes made an offer to buy 100% of the card, which was shared between the Albo and Almagro teams. Although some details are being defined, which will be fixed in the next few hours, it will be a sum close to 2 million dollars. San Lorenzo confirmed that Altamirano underwent successful surgery
San Lorenzo closed its preseason with a penalty shootout victory over Independiente del Valle after a 0-0 draw, a three-match streak in Uruguay where it came out undefeated and without conceding goals during regular time. Despite this, the Gauchos de Boedo’s stay on the other side of the Río de la Plata was not perfect as they suffered Facundo Altamirano’s injury during their match against Nacional, which forced him to undergo surgery.
While Miguel Ángel Russo’s team trains in Ciudad Deportiva with their eyes set on their debut in the Apertura 2025 against Talleres this Saturday, the club reported on its official communication channels that the former Banfield and Patronato player was successfully operated on for his fracture in the ulna of his left arm, so he can already begin the recovery process.
This injury opened the doors for Orlando Gill, who did not concede goals and saved a penalty in the shootout against Independiente del Valle. With Andreis Noppert, Keylor Navas, Washington Aguerre and Benjamin Lecomte all missing as rumoured, the 24-year-old Paraguayan is expected to start the campaign as a starter, with Jose Devecchi as his substitute upon his return from his loan at Banfield.
