Rodrigo Atencio Transfer from Sport Recife to Independiente Rivadavia
Rodrigo Atencio, a 23-year-old Argentine Right Winger, is on loan at Independiente Rivadavia from Sport Recife until December 31, 2026. The loan is taking place during a financial dispute between the Brazilian club and Atencio's former team, Independiente. This conflict is related to the original transfer a year ago, which had a contract clause obligating Sport Recife to buy an additional 20 percent of the player's rights for $500,000 after certain objectives were met. The objectives were fulfilled, and Independiente has now filed a complaint with FIFA over the unpaid installment, which was due in January. Independiente is demanding a total of approximately $500,000, which includes the owed amount plus a fine and interest. Atencio is under contract with Sport Recife until December 2029 and has played in two matches for Independiente Rivadavia as a substitute. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €2.00m. He has also been linked with Newell's Old Boys.
