Banega to Defensa y Justicia? Halcón step up move for star midfielder | OneFootball

Éver Banega is reportedly close to becoming a new addition to Defensa y Justicia, although his arrival has not been officially confirmed. The experienced midfielder, now a free agent after ending his contract with Newell’s Old Boys, is considering the proposal from the "Halcón" of Varela, which has intensified discussions in recent days.

Details of the Possible Arrival

Mutual Interest: Defensa y Justicia has shown a concrete interest in adding the 37-year-old midfielder. Formal negotiations are underway, and according to media reports, only details remain for a verbal agreement.

Reunion with the Coach: A key factor in the potential transfer is the presence of Mariano Soso as head coach of Defensa y Justicia. Banega briefly worked under his guidance in early 2025 at Newell’s, and Soso is said to have requested his signing.

Competition: While the club from Florencio Varela is a strong option, Banega has also reportedly received inquiries from other clubs, including some from Major League Soccer (MLS).

Contract: If finalized, it is speculated that there will be a verbal agreement to sign for one season.

The situation is expected to be resolved in the coming days, and there is a possibility that Banega will continue his career in Argentine football wearing the Defensa y Justicia jersey.
