San Lorenzo is racing against time to finalize the purchase of Alexis Cuello's transfer rights. Cuello, who emerged as the top scorer for San Lorenzo in 2024, is currently on loan from Almagro. The option to buy his transfer rights expires at midnight, with the deal valued at approximately $1,200,000 for 60% of his rights. Initially, the base amount stood at $1,000,000, but it increased due to a loan fee of $100,000 and performance bonuses of $25,000 each for playing more than 10 and 15 matches. San Lorenzo has expressed their intention to exercise the purchase option, although there are concerns about the payment method.

Alexis Cuello has been playing as a centre-forward for San Lorenzo, having scored eight goals in 31 matches. His loan spell from Almagro is set to end at the end of the year, but San Lorenzo is likely to seek his continuity, especially since the alternatives, Andrés Vombergar and Francisco Fydriszewski, have not performed up to expectations.
