Santiago Lencina is a 20-year-old Argentinian midfielder with a release clause of 100 million euros. He has had limited playing time at River Plate under Eduardo Coudet, with five appearances in the domestic league in the 2025/2026 season. The club from Argentina is receptive to negotiating the player's departure as Lencina seeks more playing time. SC Braga is one of the potential clubs interested in signing Santiago Lencina, but there is significant competition from Brazilian clubs. Journalist Hernán Castillo reports that the transfer to SC Braga is advancing and is expected to be formalized as a loan. The details of the agreement are not yet known. Lencina renewed his contract with River Plate last year, making it valid until December 2028 and including a release clause of 100 million euros. The attacking midfielder has 3 caps for the Argentina U20 team and a current Transfermarkt market value of €2.00m.
