According to TYC, Independiente is interested in acquiring forward Agustín Auzmendi as a replacement for Gabriel Ávalos. Seeking a replacement for Ávalos, Independiente inquired on Saturday about the conditions for the 29-year-old Argentine forward, who is currently at Gimnasia La Plata on loan from Godoy Cruz. The player arrived at Gimnasia in January of this year. However, Independiente's difficult financial situation limits the chances of a negotiation, and Gimnasia does not plan to let the player leave. According to Transfermarkt, Auzmendi's current market value is €1.20m. In the 2025/2026 domestic league season, he has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in 23 appearances.
