San Lorenzo de Almagro rejected Racing's offer to loan Agustín García Basso. The decision was made due to Gabriel Rojas' injury, which left the team without a natural replacement for the left-back. Additionally, the intense schedule that the club is facing was also a factor in the decision. The coaching staff considers it essential to maintain defensive variants within the team and avoid releasing players who can cover more than one role. The offer did not convince the academic management, who understand that the defender's value is greater and that a temporary loan is not convenient. Meanwhile, from the Bajo Flores, they are analyzing other alternatives to reinforce the defense. In the pipeline are Ramiro Funes Mori and Miguel Barbieri. For the twin, there has already been a formal contact and a definition is expected in the coming hours, although it also influences the decision taken by Estudiantes and the number of opportunities that the coach can give to Tomás Palacios. Funes Mori's current situation in the Pincha is not the best. The 35-year-old defender has not yet added minutes in the Apertura and maintains an elevated contract, which makes La Plata see with good eyes the possibility of an exit if a concrete proposal appears. His trajectory includes steps by River, Everton, Villarreal and the Argentina national team. The other alternative is Barbieri, who started the season in Riestra and has accumulated seven disputed matches. The defender appears as a more accessible option within the market, although for the moment the Boedo club continues to evaluate which path to take.
