Elche's coach, Eder Sarabia, has asked the club's recent Argentine signing, 23-year-old centre-forward Abiel Osorio, to prepare for his move to Europe next season. Sarabia explained that the transfer was a medium-term move, attributing it to the extensive knowledge that the club's owner, Christian Bragarnik, has of the player. Osorio will play on loan at Defensa y Justicia until the end of the season. Sarabia revealed he has already spoken with him and told him to focus on performing well and continuing his development. According to Transfermarkt, Osorio has a current market value of €1.80m and is uncapped for Argentina's U23 team.
