Independiente target Racing fan struggling at San Lorenzo | OneFootball

El Rojo has already initiated talks with the representative of the forward who went through the Academy's youth divisions and is currently very upset with the Ciclón due to a significant debt.

Despite having an overcrowded attack with Gabriel Ávalos, Ignacio Pussetto, Walter Mazzantti, Matías Abaldo, Santiago Montiel, and a long list of young players, coach Gustavo Quinteros knows that more than one has their days numbered at Independiente, especially the Paraguayan No. 9, and that's why he has activated the search for another forward. The targeted player surprised in Avellaneda due to his past at Racing and his complicated current situation.

It is Alexis Cuello, who currently wears the jersey of a San Lorenzo in crisis. Although he returned to training under the orders of Damián Ayude and has a contract until December 2026, no one in Boedo dares to guarantee his continuity next season. Aware of his situation, El Rojo opened its doors wide and the management has already initiated the first talks with his representative.

Author of six goals in 37 matches this year (a total of 14 in 73 games), Cuello is very upset about a debt that the Ciclón has owed since his arrival in January 2024. This debt amounts to 75 thousand dollars and led him to send a formal notice weeks ago, with the threat of becoming a free agent if the payment was not made within the established timeframe.

In his claim, he detailed that he did not receive bonuses, nor a percentage for the loan, nor what he is owed after the definitive purchase made from Almagro, which continues to pressure for the money to be deposited or for him to be sold.

In the previous market, he was on Racing's radar, a team he is a confessed fan of and where he developed his football skills. Born in Dock Sud, he spent a significant part of his youth career at the Tita facility and in 2019 was promoted by Eduardo Chacho Coudet, but he did not debut in the First Division and decided to try his luck in the lower leagues, first at Barracas Central and then at Instituto and the Tricolor.

A section of the Academy's fans, however, did not approve of his arrival for having passionately celebrated a goal in a classic match at the Nuevo Gasómetro and for an unintentional taunt. After the match, the forward shared a post from a San Lorenzo fan account that said "Racing S.A", as a taunt, referencing the management of the 2000s, and added a silence emoji, silencing the fans who labeled him ungrateful for having celebrated the goal.
