San Lorenzo de Almagro have secured the future of one of their promising young talents by renewing Gonzalo Alassia's contract. The 22-year-old midfielder signed a new deal on Thursday that will keep him at the club until December 31, 2028.
This agreement is a key step in the club's policy of retaining and developing young talent. Alassia, whose original deal was set to expire at the end of this year, signed the new contract at the Avenida La Plata headquarters in the presence of president Marcelo Culotta. The player arrived at the start of 2024 from Atlético Rafaela, initially joining the reserve team before his promotion to the senior squad.
Long-term project
Alassia is now part of the first team and available to manager Rubén Darío Insúa. His renewal follows the club's stated aim of preserving its footballing assets. This move prevents the player from leaving on a free transfer at the end of the season, securing his continuity during a period of sporting rebuild.
The midfielder will aim to earn a more prominent role in Insúa's plans over the next four years. His progress can be tracked on the official squad page, which details the full team composition. The signing comes in a week where the club also announced the departure of manager Guillermo Franco.
San Lorenzo return to action this Sunday at 14:45 at the Estadio Pedro Bidegain, facing Unión in matchday 12 of the Torneo Clausura. The team is looking to take three points to improve their position in the standings. Alassia's continued presence provides stability in midfield for this fixture and the remainder of the campaign.
