Nacho Fernández, the great wish of the gymnasts / Archive
The decision of Anacleto management is that the first reinforcement for 2026 is Ignacio Fernández. And in this sense, the president himself maintained contact with the player, who is on vacation in the USA.
In his absence there was initial contact with Nacho’s representative. This first meeting revealed differences between what Gimnasia was offering and the intentions of the player, who is clear that Lobo’s limits are far below what he perceived at River Plate.
More than once, Nacho Fernández expressed his intention to wear the blue and white jacket again and the leadership is heading in the same direction. In fact, the previous management had also tried to sign the player in recent transfer markets, but the connection with the millionaire was still in effect. In the next few hours there will be a new meeting with Damián Facciutto, the footballer’s representative, to try to bring the positions even closer together, with the aim of Nacho becoming another member of the squad at Estancia Chica on January 2nd. In principle, Nacho would sign his contract for two seasons until December 2027.
After this first step on the market, the name Milton Casco should not be ruled out, another player who will be released from his contract with River at the end of the year. In addition, the management must promote the continuity of Enzo Martínez and make decisions with the completion of the loans of Augusto Max, Bautista Merlini and Juan Villalba.
