Valentin Gómez Transfer from Vélez Sarsfield to Udinese
The transfer of Valentín Gómez to Udinese has encountered a delay due to the absence of funds from businessman Foster Gillett. Although Gómez successfully completed his medical examination in Italy, his move to Udinese remains pending until the financial transaction is finalized. Vélez Sarsfield has withheld authorization for the transfer until the operation is completed, as the agreement was made with Gillett rather than directly with Udinese. It is believed that the holdup stems from a financial triangulation in the United States, necessitating Gillett to validate the source of the funds. There is speculation about a deadline extending to April to fulfill the release clause payment.
Valentín Gómez will leave Vélez and join Udinese in Serie A. He will use the release clause and is waiting for everything to be signed to formally become a new defender for Udinese. The transfer fee is eight and a half million dollars net. He has traveled to Italy for a medical examination with Udinese and will sign the contract once bureaucratic issues are resolved. However, the money has not yet appeared at Vélez, and his transfer will not be released until it does.

Argentine defender Diego Valentin Gomez is set to join Udinese from Velez Sarsfield. Holding a Spanish passport, he does not occupy a non-EU spot. His transfer fee, amounting to 8.5 million euros, was covered by an investment fund, facilitating his move to the Friulian club for the next 18 months, until June 2026. Prior to his transfer to Udinese, Gomez had attracted interest from Bologna and Lazio.
