Vélez in talks with Fortaleza for Machuca after CAS ruling | OneFootball

After the CAS ruling in their favor, Vélez Sarsfield began negotiations with Fortaleza for the return of Imanol Machuca. The forward, whose transfer was linked to the Brazilian club, could return to El Fortín in the coming weeks.

Vélez's interest is clear: both the Board of Directors and the coaching staff agree that "the player interests us a lot," highlighting his potential contribution to the team.

Meanwhile, Fortaleza, recently relegated to Serie B, is looking to part ways with the player due to his high salary. The Brazilian club's intention is to renegotiate the loan or agree on a sale for an amount lower than the original purchase option of USD 2,500,000, established at the time.

The operation will now depend on the conversations between both clubs and the financial agreement reached to finalize the return of the forward.
