The president of Santa Fe, Eduardo Méndez, discussed the possibility of buying the rights of Franco Fagúndez, whose loan from Santos Laguna of Mexico ends on December 31. According to Méndez, the agreement does not include a purchase option. He stated that they are talking with the agents and will look for a way to retain the player. Méndez emphasized that the club's economic reality will be decisive and that with current attendance levels, it will be difficult to acquire the player.

Uruguayan second striker Franco Fagúndez, 26, confirmed his desire to remain at Santa Fe, where he is on loan from his parent club, Club Santos Laguna. Fagúndez explained that he is very happy at the club, which he feels is reflected in his performance as his form and confidence improve. He acknowledged that any potential permanent transfer would not be simple because his current loan deal does not include a purchase option. Despite this, the player expressed hope that an opportunity to continue with Santa Fe would arise, but said that if it doesn't, he will accept the outcome. His current Transfermarkt market value is €900k, and in the 2025/2026 season he has recorded 3 goals and 2 assists in 11 appearances in the Liga DIMAYOR I.
