An unnamed Greek club reached out to Vélez, indicating its plan to propose an offer of 5.3 million euros for Matías Pellegrino, a 23-year-old Argentine forward who was born in Spain. Vélez turned down this offer, insisting on a sum closer to his release clause, which is approximately 9.7 million euros. The club might consider an offer similar to what the Greek club suggested if they can keep a significant resale percentage. The renowned Argentine journalist Germán García Grova reported that the Greek club had shown interest.
