Upon learning of Hernández’s injury, San Lorenzo moved quickly in the market, but the answer was negative. The Ciclón contacted Racing to inquire about García Basso, although the possibility of a transfer was ruled out in the first conversation. The defender’s injury, a ligament rupture suffered during the draw at La Bombonera, allowed Cuervo to sign a local player or a free agent. In that context, the name of Racing’s central defender came up.

Barrientos, a member of San Lorenzo’s technical secretariat, called Saja directly to explore the situation. According to reports, the defender did not rule out a move that would allow him to get more playing time in Gustavo Costas’ team.

The obstacle was financial. Racing made it clear that they would only consider a transfer if the proposal was convenient from both a sporting and institutional perspective, something that was far from the figures the Boedo club is willing to handle.

San Lorenzo maintains a strict policy in the market, avoiding high contracts or loans that could compromise the club’s finances. This difference prevented the negotiation from moving forward.

With the spot opened by Hernández’s injury, the Ciclón will have to keep looking for alternatives within Argentine football or among free agents. The need is clear, but the first option was quickly ruled out.
