Vélez Sarsfield launched an offer for Álvaro Montero, aiming to have him compete with Tomás Marchiori. The offer was for a loan with a fee and a purchase option, described as 'ridiculous' by Colombian media. The initial offer was rejected, but Vélez promises to continue discussions. Montero is interested in an international experience.

Álvaro Montero is in advanced negotiations to join Vélez Sarsfield on loan until December 2026, with an obligation to buy. The exact transfer fee has not been disclosed but is expected to exceed 3 million dollars. Vélez Sarsfield, currently playing in Copa Libertadores, is willing to release two goalkeepers to accommodate Montero, who has a contract with Millonarios until December 31, 2027. The decision between a loan or a permanent transfer is still being discussed.
