The player Newell’s are close to signing to bolster the attack | OneFootball

Nicolás Laméndola is very close to becoming Newell’s new signing after a preliminary agreement was reached with Atlético Tucumán.

The transfer will be finalized once both clubs complete the exchange of the corresponding documentation. The 27-year-old winger from Tucumán will sign a long-term contract tying him to the Parque Independencia club until December 2029.

The player is coming off an active role during the 2026 season with the «Decano», where he played a total of 18 official matches and scored two goals.

His main strength on the field is his one-on-one ability, establishing himself as the player with the highest average of completed dribbles per match on his former team. This trait directly matches the rojinegra board’s search for more attacking options with pace and width down the flanks.

With his arrival, Laméndola will join the other names brought in by the rojinegra board for the Clausura. The team managed by Frank Darío Kudelka had previously strengthened the back line with the return of Franco Escobar (from Peñarol) and the signing of Lautaro Gianetti (formerly of Vélez). In addition, the leproso squad added creativity in midfield with the arrival of playmaker Alan Soñora.
