During an intense informational assembly, Fabián Berlanga, the president of Vélez, disclosed that he had an informal conversation with Claudio Aquino regarding a possible return to Vélez in the upcoming June transfer window. Berlanga recounted that he wrote to Aquino, suggesting that if Aquino was not satisfied in Chile, they could discuss a new contract in June. Aquino's response was reportedly non-committal, as he complimented Berlanga by calling him a genius but did not engage further in the discussion. Currently, Aquino is with Colo-Colo under a contract that extends until December 2026, following his departure from Vélez. Despite having participated in 13 matches, scoring one goal and providing four assists, his performance has been inconsistent, reflecting the team's broader challenges in both the league and the Copa Libertadores, which has led to speculation about his potential return.
