While going through a deep institutional and economic crisis, the San Lorenzo team wants to fight in the Torneo Clausura in search of the title. After reaching the semifinals of the Apertura, they made it to the round of 16 in the second tournament of the year, where they will visit Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero. One of the team's key players is Jhohan Romaña, who has attracted the interest of several teams and his future is uncertain.
The 27-year-old Colombian defender has been dealing with some conflicts with the management over non-payment and delays in his salary. A few days ago, he even threatened the club to pay the overdue wages or he would consider himself a free agent, a situation that was eventually resolved. Nevertheless, Botafogo has shown interest in him, and Gremio, which was close to signing him at the beginning of 2025, might also make another attempt.
However, a new, stronger interest has emerged from a team in Saudi Arabian football, which is reportedly willing to offer around four million dollars for Romaña's transfer, who joined the Ciclón at the beginning of 2024 from Austin of the MLS for 750 thousand dollars and quickly became a key player for the team. He has played 82 matches and scored one goal, against Palmeiras in the 2024 Copa Libertadores.
In the midst of another hectic week at San Lorenzo, which included an explosive statement from the team against the management and even a demand from Jhohan Romaña, Gastón Hernández decided to speak up. After the 1-1 draw with Sarmiento at the Nuevo Gasómetro, the azulgrana captain explained the purpose of the harsh message that appeared on all the players' social media and was deleted hours later.

“We always keep working, we never stop training. Many things have been said, and the truth is that they are not true. The statement had a purpose, which was for the club to pay the salaries to the younger players, who really need it," assured Tonga. And he explained why it was deleted:
