Gimnasia sound out Rodrigo Rey, but move looks unlikely | OneFootball

The Argentine football transfer market is gradually picking up, and clubs are starting to inquire about players who could be key additions to strengthen their squads. In this case, Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata are looking for a goalkeeper and have already asked about the conditions for Rodrigo Rey, Independiente’s captain.

For the upcoming tournament, El Lobo want to strengthen their options between the posts and bring in a player who can compete internally with Nelson Insfrán. The club’s board contacted Rey, whose contract with El Rojo has six months remaining and who still has not held talks over a renewal. Even though his deal with the Avellaneda side runs until December of this year, the goalkeeper’s salary is very high, so it would be very difficult for Gimnasia to afford it and the move is practically ruled out.

Another name being mentioned for the Mens Sana goal is Jorge Fatura Broun. The former goalkeeper under Diego Maradona at the La Plata club received a call from president Carlos Anacleto, who asked him about his intentions following Conan Ledesma’s arrival at Rosario Central. As things stand today, Fatura is the most concrete option.

So far, they are all just inquiries, but it is clear that El Lobo have made strengthening that position one of their priorities. As for Independiente, the goalkeeper position is not a priority for the upcoming transfer window, but just in case, the board is asking about other options in the event that their captain and leader leaves the club.
