TYC reports on a potential player swap between Independiente and Boca involving Milton Giménez and Santiago Montiel. After Independiente inquired about the terms for Milton Giménez, a forward who is a secondary option at Boca, the Xeneize leadership responded with a proposal for a straight swap involving Santiago Montiel, a 25-year-old Argentinian right winger. Independiente, which was looking for a center-forward following the departure of Gabriel Ávalos, had no intention of parting with another of its key players and did not reply to the offer. Montiel joined Independiente in August 2024 and is under contract until the end of 2028. In the 2025/2026 domestic league season, he has recorded 3 goals and 3 assists in 19 appearances. His current market value is €3.80m, according to Transfermarkt.
