Upon learning of Hernández's injury, San Lorenzo moved quickly in the market, but the response was negative. The Ciclón contacted Racing to inquire about García Basso, although the possibility of a transfer was dismissed in the first conversation. The defender's injury, a ligament tear suffered during the draw at La Bombonera, allowed Cuervo to bring in a local player or a free agent. In this context, the name of Racing's central defender came up.

Barrientos, a member of San Lorenzo's technical staff, called Saja directly to explore the situation. It was reported that the defender did not rule out a move that would allow him more playing time in the team managed by Gustavo Costas.

The obstacle was financial. Racing made it clear that they would only consider a transfer if the proposal was beneficial both sportingly and institutionally, something that was far from the numbers the Boedo club was willing to handle.

San Lorenzo maintains a strict market policy, avoiding high contracts or loans that could compromise the club's finances. This difference prevented the negotiation from progressing.

With the spot opened by Hernández's injury, the Ciclón will have to continue seeking alternatives within Argentine football or among free agents. The need is clear, but the first option was quickly ruled out.
