Fluminense submitted a formal offer for 25-year-old Argentine forward Alexis Cuello, proposing four million US dollars gross for 100% of his transfer rights, but San Lorenzo rejected the bid, considering the amount insufficient and the payment method unconvincing. San Lorenzo's position is that a higher amount will be needed for serious negotiations, though a deal is not impossible if the interest is sustained. Information from the Brazilian club's side suggests that an improved offer will be presented in the coming hours. Although Fluminense's coach, Luis Zubeldía, had initially included Cuello as the third option on a list of attacking reinforcements, the club's directors decided to pursue the forward directly, convinced of his current form and potential. Meanwhile, San Lorenzo's coach Damián Ayude does not want to sell the forward, whom he considers a key player. Cuello, who joined San Lorenzo in January 2025, has a contract until the end of 2027 and has scored two goals and provided two assists in four appearances in the 2025/2026 Torneo Apertura. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.50m, and other clubs, including River Plate and Boca Juniors, have also been linked with him.
