The experienced midfielder Éver Banega, with a past in the Argentine National Team and clubs such as Boca Juniors, Valencia, and Inter Milan, has been officially announced as the new star signing of Defensa y Justicia.

After ending his contract with Newell’s Old Boys, the 37-year-old midfielder joins the "Halcón" as a free agent and signed a contract for one season, until December 2026.
