Darío Benedetto has ended his contract with Olimpia after going 12 matches without scoring. He is now training with Defensa y Justicia, and there is a possibility he might play for them again. His representative, Christian Bragarnik, who has a substantial influence at Defensa y Justicia, has been a key factor in this potential move. Benedetto had reportedly told his son that he intended to retire at Defensa y Justicia. The 35-year-old striker, who enjoys a close relationship with Bragarnik, also shares ownership of Elche with him. Benedetto, who left a good impression during his time at Defensa y Justicia in 2010, has not scored since February 2024. Despite having previously committed to only playing for Boca in South America, his current performance has led to a possible return to Defensa y Justicia, where his son is part of the youth divisions.
