According to TYC, Rodrigo Auzmendi was considered for a move to Lanús and a medical examination was scheduled, but he has returned to Banfield. The report states that Banfield does not want to sell Auzmendi to Querétaro if he would then move to Lanús. Banfield president Matías Mariotto stated that the club does not consider it ethical for Auzmendi to go to Lanús and prefers San Lorenzo instead. The agent said Querétaro asked him to consider Lanús as a possible destination for the loan.

TYC reports that Querétaro has bought Rodrigo Auzmendi from Banfield and will loan him to Lanús for this year. Querétaro completed the acquisition by forgiving a one-million-dollar debt owed for Martín Rio. The loan is necessary because Querétaro's foreign player quota is full. The arrangement with Lanús will be without charge, last until December, and include a purchase option. Auzmendi, who had previously agreed terms with San Lorenzo, will instead join Lanús and is set to undergo a medical examination on Monday.

According to TYC, Lanús has shown interest in Rodrigo Auzmendi, a 25-year-old Argentinian forward from Banfield, who was previously pursued by Boca and Rosario Central. The player nearly joined San Lorenzo as part of a three-way arrangement where Banfield was in advanced talks to sell him to the Mexican club Querétaro. Querétaro planned to loan him out immediately because it did not have an available foreign player spot, and San Lorenzo was in a position to acquire him without a fee. However, Lanús, which recently sold Rodrigo Castillo, is now interested and prepared to pay a fee for the loan. The club is currently discussing the player's salary, and there are also discussions about including a purchase option in the agreement. Auzmendi's contract with Banfield expires on December 31, 2026. In the current 2025/2026 Torneo Apertura season, he has made 7 appearances and has not scored a goal or provided an assist. Transfermarkt lists his current market value at €2.00m, while reports in March 2026 indicated Banfield was prepared to sell the player to Querétaro for approximately €920,000 to resolve a debt.
