Tough times for Kevin López after his move to Instituto falls through | OneFootball

The situation of midfielder Kevin López, owned by Independiente, took a dramatic turn at the close of the transfer market. After Instituto's management backtracked on his signing, the player finds himself in a contractual limbo that complicates his immediate future.

A Controversial Handling with Serious Consequences

López had arrived in Santa Fe and even trained with Colón's squad, with whom he had a one-year loan agreement without charge and with a purchase option. However, a last-minute call from Instituto made him change his mind; he left Colón's training camp without notice and traveled to Córdoba to join La Gloria.

The unusual snub generated a strong rejection from Colón's management, who refused to renegotiate or resume the agreement. Meanwhile, in an unexpected turn, Instituto's coach, Daniel Oldrá (who had requested the player), was dismissed within hours, casting doubt on the signing at the Córdoba club.

Uncertain Future

Currently, Kevin López faces a bleak scenario:

The 24-year-old footballer, who played 20 matches with Atlético Tucumán in 2025, might end up without a club to gain minutes in the first half of the year.
