Claudio Aquino has also attracted interest from Sao Paulo, among other clubs. After leaving Vélez, he is evaluating his options to determine the best fit for his future.

Claudio Aquino, a creative midfielder who was key to Vélez's recent championship victory, has decided not to continue with the club. His former coach, Gustavo Quinteros, who has now taken charge at Gremio, is interested in bringing Aquino to the Brazilian club. The player's future is currently uncertain, but Gremio is considered a likely destination due to the existing relationship with Quinteros.

Claudio Aquino confirmed that he will not renew his contract and will not continue at Vélez in 2025. Despite the club's desire to agree on his continuity, the parties failed to reach an agreement. Aquino expressed his gratitude for the two years he spent at the club and announced his departure. Months ago, he was reportedly on the radar of Boca and there was a chance of a potential return to Cerro Porteño, but his future remains uncertain as the transfer market opens.

Claudio Aquino is one of the important players whose permanence at Vélez Sarsfield could not be guaranteed by the club's president Fabián Berlanga and the board of directors. His contract is nearing its end.
