Manuel Insaurralde to Talleres Córdoba

Quiet since 30 July 2026. Last report: German Garcia Grova. Probability when it went quiet: 14%.

The fee being discussed is essentially nothing, since Insaurralde would walk for free in six months regardless. That should make a deal simple, yet San Lorenzo already showed in July they are not keen to give him away early on the cheap. Call it a long shot for now, one that depends on San Lorenzo deciding a small fee today beats losing him for free at the end of the year.
