Grupo Pachuca is proceeding with its efforts to purchase Kevin Lomónaco, who is considered one of Independiente's most valued players. The group's sporting director has traveled to Argentina to meet exclusively with the 23-year-old defender, who performed very well for the team. Conversations are in an initial stage, with the objective of convincing the player to join one of the teams owned by the group. These teams include Pachuca and León in Mexico, Everton de Viña del Mar in Chile, Club Atenas in Uruguay, and Real Oviedo in Spain, which is presented as a potential European destination. If Lomónaco provides a positive response, the group will initiate negotiations with Independiente's management to present an offer, a process that would be aided by a good relationship between the parties. The Argentine club seeks to sell the player for a sum of approximately 10 million dollars, because they view him as a player to sell due to their lack of international competition. Coach Gustavo Quinteros had previously expressed a desire for the entire squad to remain.
