Ignacio Malcorra became a free agent on January 1st after failing to reach a renewal agreement with Rosario Central, a situation that has resulted in interest from Independiente. It is reported that the club's coach, Gustavo Quinteros, made a specific request to the management led by Néstor Grindetti to sign the 38-year-old Argentinian midfielder. Weeks prior, Malcorra's representative, Sergio Levinton, stated in an interview with Radio La Red that no one from Rosario Central had contacted him or the player to negotiate a new contract. Levinton also acknowledged at that time that there had been an inquiry from Racing. Malcorra joined Rosario Central in June 2022. His current market value is €375k, according to Transfermarkt.
