The negotiation between Estudiantes de La Plata and Santos Laguna for Santiago Núñez was reportedly resolved, but there are still obstacles preventing the transfer's finalization. Núñez is not currently in the squad for Santos Laguna's upcoming match, but he is also not released to return to play in Argentina. The player's willingness seems to be a decisive factor in progressing this transfer.

The Technical Secretariat of Estudiantes de La Plata has made a formal offer to acquire half of the transfer rights of Santiago Núñez, a player originally from their youth academy and currently at Santos Laguna. The Mexican club has not yet responded to the proposal and still owes installments from the original transfer. Interestingly, the head coach of Santos Laguna, Fernando Ortíz, is a former idol and champion with Estudiantes. Further talks are expected to progress in the coming hours.
