According to Récord, the transfer of Diego Valdés to Vélez is expected to happen soon. The player is reportedly close to joining Vélez, with negotiations between him and the club aiming to finalize the deal in the next few hours. América is looking to sell players, and Valdés's transfer talks are the most advanced. It is reported that the player has agreed to an initial offer, and further discussions with his representatives are planned to conclude the agreement, which would expedite the process with América. Vélez is anticipating a formal response by Thursday or Friday to quickly integrate Diego into the team. América is said to have a single payment policy due to previous issues with Argentine clubs over deferred payments. Once the payment is made, Valdés is expected to become a Vélez player. América is reportedly open to accepting any offer of 3 million dollars or more for the Chilean midfielder.

Diego Valdés is reportedly set to join Vélez Sarsfield, with the club expressing strong interest in finalizing his signing in the near future. Sources indicate that Vélez has reached a direct agreement with Valdés, and the negotiations are progressing favorably, although América has not yet received a formal offer from Vélez. The transfer process is expected to speed up due to the direct negotiations with Valdés. Vélez is said to have offered a substantial salary, addressing earlier negotiation challenges where Valdés was reportedly unwilling to lower his salary expectations. América is demanding 3 million dollars to release Valdés and insists on full upfront payment, citing previous experiences with Argentine clubs. Valdés, who has played 140 matches, scored 38 goals, and provided 30 assists for América, is anticipated to depart the club as he is reportedly no longer in the favor of the technical staff. The player was a key figure during the club's successful era, contributing to their league tricampeonato.
