Nicolás Tripichio to Santos Laguna

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

San Lorenzo have knocked back an offer from Santos Laguna for Nicolás Tripichio, their 30 year old captain, with the Mexican club's bid falling well short of what the Argentine side want. San Lorenzo are holding out for a figure above the €3m already rejected, while reports put the fee being discussed in a €3m to €4m range, a notable premium on his roughly €2m market value.

Tripichio himself arrived at San Lorenzo for just €1m from Defensa in 2024, so this fee would represent a big jump in his valuation. Watch for Santos Laguna's response to the rejection. If they return with an improved bid near San Lorenzo's asking price, tal
