Red Bull Bragantino warn Independiente over Lomónaco deal | OneFootball

After being eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana, Independiente resumes activity in the 2025 Clausura Tournament against Banfield this Saturday at 4:45 p.m. The good news still hasn’t arrived, as Red Bull Bragantino has issued a demand to El Rojo over the purchase of Kevin Lomónaco.

The signing was agreed upon in three installments of $750,000 each. The Avellaneda side claims to have paid half of one installment, and the defender maintains that the club also paid $50,000 as a sign of intent to pay.

Nevertheless, the management understands that it will have to pay penalties and interest, but accepts this because they have no money: they have to wait to sell players in the transfer market. The first installment is already overdue, as its deadline was June 30.

In May of this year, Lomónaco agreed to renew his contract with Independiente until 2028, and his release clause was raised to $20 million. The player has attracted interest from several European clubs, although so far, there has been no formal approach.

El Rojo is focused on climbing out of the bottom of Group B in the Clausura, as they are currently last with 3 points and no victories, and are also outside the qualification zone for international tournaments in the annual standings.

However, they did receive the good news that they will be able to play at the Libertadores de América – Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium against El Taladro, after the stadium had been provisionally closed due to the violence that occurred against Universidad de Chile.
