Parma made an offer for Mateo Pellegrino, but it was rejected by Velez Sarsfield as it did not meet the club's requirements, especially regarding the payment structure. The club president mentioned that the figures discussed in the media are not accurate. Pellegrino is in the last year of his contract.

Mateo Pellegrino, a 23-year-old forward, has shown his dissatisfaction with being a substitute at Vélez and has excluded himself from the squad for the upcoming match against Platense. Pellegrino, who had an impressive year with Platense in 2024, has communicated to Vélez's coaching staff his unwillingness to remain as a backup, prompting him to leave the team's concentration. He has attracted offers from Inter Miami and Parma, with Racing also expressing interest in him as they considered him a potential target after their negotiations with Unión for Adrián Balboa encountered difficulties. Vélez is anticipated to release a statement on the issue and is considering a quick sale of Pellegrino to address the situation.
