Lucas Robertone returns to El Fortín | OneFootball

Vélez officially presented Lucas Robertone, the only confirmed addition so far for the squad led by Guillermo Barros Schelotto for the 2026 season. The 28-year-old midfielder returns to the Liniers club after his stint at Almería, currently in the Spanish second division, on a 12-month loan with a purchase option.

The presentation had a special touch: the presence of Bizarrap, who accompanied the player in a meeting where Robertone told him: “You were part of it,” acknowledging the renowned producer's influence on his return.

Robertone arrived in the country on Wednesday night and signed his contract with the Fortín this Friday. “We are very happy. It took a little while, but we are here now. Now, to do the medical check-up and everything that needs to be done to join the team as soon as possible,” the midfielder declared upon arrival.

The native of Concordia had already debuted with Vélez's jersey and played 73 matches, scoring 12 goals, before being transferred to Spain in 2020 for around 3.4 million euros for half of his transfer rights. After more than five years, he returns with the aim of solidifying his position in the midfield and bringing his experience to the team, which will only compete in local tournaments this season.

“It's done, it's over. We are very happy, at home. It's what I wanted, what we fought for,” added Robertone, and he sent a message to the fans: “I thank the people. From the very first moment, they gave me a lot of support and affection. I hope to see them soon and give back all of that on the field.”

Vélez trusts that Robertone's return will be an immediate contribution to the creation and management of the game, strengthening a team that seeks to start the year on the right foot and project its growth in the local arena.
