Alexis Cuello to Caykur Rizespor
Quiet since 1 September 2026. Last report: German Garcia Grova. Probability when it went quiet: 5%.
Earlier read, written at an earlier stage of this story: Caykur Rizespor have gone beyond casual interest and tabled a formal loan offer for San Lorenzo attacker Alexis Cuello, proposing a ten-month loan with a €300,000 fee and an obligation to buy of €2m triggered if he makes 25 starts. The 26-year-old Argentine is under contract until December 2027 and carries a market value of around €5m, so San Lorenzo have no pressure to sell cheap or rush a reply. Talks are described as active, but there has been no acceptance from the Argentine club yet. The story so far rests on one voice: German Garcia Grova, whose exclusive this is. No second outlet has corroborated the figures or the structure of the deal yet, which makes this a single tier-2 source story rather than one confirmed across the Turkish and Argentine press together. Worth treating the numbers as solid but not yet bulletproof. The chance of this one going through sits against the odds for now. A loan fee of €300,000 is modest, but the buy clause tied to 25 starts gives San Lorenzo reason to negotiate rather than accept outright, especially with a player valued at €5m. For it to complete, San Lorenzo would need to accept the structure as is, or push Rizespor toward a higher guaranteed fee. Right now it is held up by San Lorenzo's silence rather than any rejection. San Lorenzo have shown they can extract decent fees for departing players, selling to River Plate for €4m in 2024, to Elche CF for €4m in 2022, and to Al-Hilal for €4m. Cuello himself arrived from Almagro for €1m in 2025, so a loan with only a €2m obligation
