Quinteros eyes young Chilean as potential signing for Independiente | OneFootball

Independiente began the 2026 Apertura Tournament with one win and three draws and is already working on adding options for the attack. Gustavo Quinteros acknowledged that the club is considering the arrival of Maximiliano Gutiérrez, a 21-year-old winger who plays for Huachipato.

“We are analyzing it. We are looking for wingers who can play on both sides. This young man plays well, it would be a gamble. It's not finalized, and we are still searching,” said the coach in a conversation with Radio La Red.

Gutiérrez emerged in 2025 and has accumulated 38 matches, with eight goals and three assists. In Avellaneda, they see him as an alternative following the departure of wingers in the last market.

Quinteros explained that the priority is to bring in a player who can contribute immediately. “We are not going to sign just anyone, but someone who can contribute a lot, who comes and performs,” he stated. He also emphasized the need to cover that area after recent departures.

While remaining undefeated in the championship, the Rojo will face Lanús on Friday at the Libertadores de América – Ricardo Enrique Bochini, awaiting news in the market.
