San Lorenzo
arranged the continuity of Facundo Altamirano and added Gastón Gómez, Jhohan Romaña, Eric Remedi, Nicolás Hernández, Cristian Tarragona, Sebastián Blanco, Iván Tapia, Alexis Cuello and Cristian Ferreira.
And it hasn't been taken off the market yet.
It could be said that
Ruben Darío Insua
would have to be more than satisfied with the formation of the squad to face the year in which the Ciclón will return to play in the
Copa Libertadores
.
But,
hours before the debut in the League Cup
,
he could lose two of his undisputed figures
.
These are the scorer and new captain of the team,
Adam Bareiro
, and one of the mainstays of the defense,
Gastón Hernández
.
The Paraguayan, who is with his wife Tamara overcoming a family problem, is in the sights of Atlético Paranaense, while the defender is wanted from France.
For both, the interested clubs are willing to make an effort to be able to take them.
In fact, negotiations are open.
The first offers made were rejected by the Barça leadership, although they admit from Boedo that if the numbers improve the two operations could be carried out in these days.
When he took office, president Marcelo Moretti confided to
Clarín
that he had rejected an offer of 6 million dollars for Bareiro since the payment method was not convincing.
He now rejected the offer that arrived from Brazil because the figure was lower (about 3 million dollars net).

However, the Guaraní expressed internally that he does not frown upon a leap abroad as long as the number serves all parties.
Not a minor issue to take into account, San Lorenzo has an outstanding debt with Monterrey of Mexico of 600 thousand dollars for the transfer of Bareiro.
For this reason, it would not hurt the management to sell it either, although they warn that the net amount should be higher.
Something similar happens with Tonga Hernández.
The defender is wanted by the Greek Olympiacos, who returned to the fray after seeing his first offer rejected by San Lorenzo and are very close to keeping him.
In the Ciclón they quoted the 26-year-old footballer at 4 million dollars for 75 percent of the pass.
If they come close to that amount from Greece, the transfer will be closed at this time.

To all this, what does Galician Insua think?
"If you have aspirations of winning something you have to retain good players. I am counting on Bareiro and Hernández for Saturday
," he said on ESPN in reference to the debut against Lanús.
Until the coach is told that one of the two is sold, he will consider them in his starting lineup.
But everything indicates that from one moment to the next there will be important news.
