According to TYC, Vélez had made inquiries regarding Tiziano Perrotta's situation, while Tigre had progressed in conversations for the player and had a deal with Banfield that was close to being finalized. However, the operation was not completed because Perrotta reportedly chose to wait for an offer from a foreign club. Now, Spanish club Elche is in ongoing, well-progressed talks with Banfield, and both parties are optimistic that an agreement can be reached for the 19-year-old Argentinian forward. Additionally, Flamengo was also said to have been monitoring his development. Perrotta joined Banfield in January 2026, and his contract is due to expire at the end of 2027. His current Transfermarkt market value is €2.00m.
