Benjamin Lecomte, a French goalkeeper currently playing for Montpellier, was proposed as an alternative for San Lorenzo. The offer was again declined by coach Miguel Ángel Russo, who showed a preference for another candidate, Keylor Navas, highlighting his interest in the ex-Real Madrid and PSG goalkeeper. Despite the initial interest in Lecomte, Russo's focus shifted towards securing Navas, who is now reportedly very close to joining San Lorenzo.
