Vélez Sarsfield, now coached by Sebastián Domínguez, is interested in Manuel Lanzini to replace Claudio Aquino, who transferred to Colo-Colo. Despite Domínguez's admiration for Lanzini's skills, Lanzini recently renewed his contract with River Plate and plans to stay, competing under Marcelo Gallardo. Vélez seeks to strengthen their squad for 2025 competitions after coach Gustavo Quinteros left for Gremio. Lanzini, recovering from injuries and facing increased competition at River Plate, remains committed to his current team.
