The troupe of Independent After a black second semester, which he was able to complete, he is already on vacation four wins in a row which in the end make him expectant Final tournament to see whether you qualify for the Copa Sudamericana or not (needs his classic rival Racing to become the champion this Saturday). Gustavo Quinteros He treated himself to the first days of rest in his hometown of Cafferata (Santa Fe province), but he didn’t feel restful.
You want to put one together competitive squad to fight a title in the 2026 season. I am waiting for definitions regarding a transfer market that will be open in Argentine football for more than two months. And meanwhile he already knows that on January 3, when he meets again with the team in Villa Dominico to start the pre-season that continues in Montevideo, Uruguay, he will have some new faces that he considers as reinforcements, even if that is not the case.
How is that? Of course, Independiente almost has a dozen footballers who will return from their respective loans. There are many names, but only a few are being considered for the red coach. The rest have to fight from behind or go looking for footage.
The two players that Quinteros has already warned behind closed doors Yes or Yes will be used are Juan Manuel Fedorco and Javier Ruiz. The first, a 25-year-old central defender, is coming off a good season in Puebla, in the Mexican league. There he played a total of 26 games and scored one goal. It is a position that the DT has had to fill ever since Kevin Lomónaco could emigrate during this break when an interesting offer comes along.
Ruiz, on the other hand, is a winger who came out of the Diablo quarry and has just stood out Central barracks (44 appearances, 5 goals and 6 assists). Quinteros called on the leadership to make use of the repechage and the president Nestor Grindetti he complied. With this, Rojo adds a 21-year-old youth Explosion in the attack sector.
A case to be evaluated is that of Santiago Lopezwho returns from Rosario Central. It is not impossible that this could be taken into account. Ignacio Maestro Puch (he will go to Puebla), Nicolas Vallejo (Liverpool from Uruguay would buy it), Kevin Lopez, Jhony Quiñonez, Santiago Salle, Diego Segovia, Baltasar Barcia, Patricio Ostachuk, Rodrigo Marquez And Agustin Quirogaare the other loans that are ending.
