Lucas Robertone returns to El Fortín | OneFootball

Vélez officially introduced Lucas Robertone, the only confirmed signing so far for the squad led by Guillermo Barros Schelotto ahead of the 2026 season. The 28-year-old midfielder returns to the Liniers club after his stint with Almería, currently in Spain’s 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 at an event 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 this Friday signed his contract with El Fortín. “We’re very happy. It took a little while, but we’re finally here. Now, I’ll do the medical check-up and everything else needed to join the team as soon as possible,” the midfielder said upon arrival.

The native of Concordia had already debuted wearing the Vélez 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 rights. After more than five years, he returns with the goal of consolidating himself in the midfield and contributing his experience to a team that will only compete in domestic tournaments this season.

“That’s it, it’s done. We’re very happy, at home. This is what I wanted, what we fought for,” added Robertone, and 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 you soon and give all that back on the pitch.”

Vélez trusts that Robertone’s return will provide an immediate boost in the creation and management of play, strengthening a team that is looking to start the year on the right foot and project its growth in the domestic arena.
