Argentinos Juniors aims to finalize full purchase of Alan Lescano
Argentinos Juniors is close to acquiring the remaining 50 % of Alan Lescano's economic rights, with an offer around $2 million. The La Paternal club wants complete control of the midfielder, whose other half still belongs to Gimnasia.
Gimnasia already sold the first half of Lescano's rights for roughly $1.9 million. Selling the second portion would provide a key cash injection for the Platense institution, which needs resources in today's market. No loan or usage payments are being considered.
The club sees Lescano as a key component of its sporting project and prefers to avoid any profit sharing in future transfers. Owning the full pass lets them decide his destiny freely and maximize any resale gain.
Negotiations still cover the resale premium Gimnasia will demand if Lescano moves again. The exact percentage hasn't been disclosed, but the white‑and‑blue club aims to secure an economic benefit should the midfielder be sold later.
If the deal closes, Argentinos will own Lescano outright and can plan his integration without restrictions. The club must register the transfer with the AFA and adjust its budget for the upcoming window.
Impact on the squad and strategy
With full control of Lescano, the Argentinos coach can craft tactics that exploit his vision and distribution skills. The $2 million investment also reinforces the club's transfer policy, aiming to cement its place in the Liga Profesional.
Mid‑term outlook
The transfer market stays lively, and securing Lescano completely could open doors to further negotiations. Argentinos may use the midfielder as an asset to generate additional revenue or as a cornerstone of its long‑term project.
