According to TYC, Independiente is interested in José Luis Palomino as a potential transfer target. Independiente is considering José Luis Palomino, an experienced 36-year-old Argentinian-Bulgarian central defender from Talleres, as an alternative to Lucas Carrizo. The club has asked the AFA for a transfer deadline extension to pursue negotiations for Palomino and other players, an action prompted by manager Gustavo Quinteros's desire for a new defender. Any potential last-minute deal depends on the club resolving a new transfer ban from Olimpia. Palomino joined Talleres in July 2025 and has a contract that expires on December 31, 2026. His current market value is €300k, according to Transfermarkt. In the 2025/2026 season, he has made 8 appearances in the Torneo Apertura and 1 in the Copa Argentina.
