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

The situation of midfielder Kevin López, who is owned by Independiente, took a dramatic turn at the close of the transfer window. After Instituto’s management backtracked on signing him, the player now 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 the Colón squad, with whom he had a one-year loan agreement at no cost 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.

This unusual snub generated a strong rejection from Colón’s management, who refused to renegotiate or resume the agreement. Meanwhile, in an unexpected twist, Instituto’s coach Daniel Oldrá (who had requested the player) was dismissed just a few hours later, 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, could end up without a club to get minutes in the first half of the year.
