TYC reports on Manuel Lanzini's upcoming transfer to Vélez Sarsfield. Manuel Lanzini will join Vélez Sarsfield on a free transfer. The deal was closed in conjunction with Vélez's victory against Fortaleza in the Copa Libertadores 2025. Lanzini's contract with River Plate was set to end on December 31, and the transfer was facilitated by the good relationship between the involved parties. There will be no compensation payment involved.

According to TYC, an agreement has been reached for Manuel Lanzini's transfer to Vélez Sarsfield. River Plate and Vélez Sarsfield have finalized terms for Lanzini to join Vélez, with the player set to sign a contract that extends until December 2026. While Lanzini's departure does not categorize him as a free agent, he will be eligible to compete in all tournaments. The transfer includes an unspecified compensation. River's management expressed their intention to assist Lanzini in advancing his career while maintaining a positive relationship with him. The club engaged in negotiations with Vélez to secure the transfer, ensuring Lanzini's participation in the Torneo Clausura and Copa Libertadores.

According to TYC, Vélez Sarsfield has renewed its interest in acquiring Manuel Lanzini. The club is attempting to rekindle its pursuit of Lanzini, although there are obstacles due to his current contract with River Plate, which is set to expire in December. Should Lanzini depart from River Plate as a free agent, he would be eligible to participate only in the Copa Libertadores for Vélez, excluding other competitions. River Plate is reportedly aiming for Lanzini to terminate his contract, whereas Vélez is interested in either securing him on loan or negotiating a share of his transfer rights. It has been reported that Lanzini has consented to reduce his financial requirements to help facilitate the move.

Vélez Sarsfield, now coached by Sebastián Domínguez, is interested in Manuel Lanzini to replace Claudio Aquino, who transferred to Colo-Colo. Despite Domínguez's admiration for Lanzini's skills, Lanzini recently renewed his contract with River Plate and plans to stay, competing under Marcelo Gallardo. Vélez seeks to strengthen their squad for 2025 competitions after coach Gustavo Quinteros left for Gremio. Lanzini, recovering from injuries and facing increased competition at River Plate, remains committed to his current team.
