Premier League
The name of Asier Illarramendi has been linked to a possible signing by San Lorenzo, which could lead him to share a dressing room with Iker Muniain at the Argentine club. According to TyC Sports, the midfielder has been offered to Ciclón after finishing his contract with FC Dallas, the team with which he ended his time in the MLS.
The transfer market in Argentina has been very active in recent weeks, with notable signings such as Ander Herrera, Gonzalo Montiel, and Keylor Navas. Now, San Lorenzo could join that trend if they finalize the arrival of the former Real Sociedad and Real Madrid player. Illarramendi would arrive as a free agent, which would facilitate his incorporation without the need to pay a transfer fee.
A complicated operation
From the club's environment, they have not ruled out the possibility of adding the 34-year-old midfielder, as his experience and quality could bring an added value to the team. However, coach Miguel Ángel Russo has not yet given his final approval, as he evaluates if the player fits into his plans for the season.
One factor that could expedite the operation is the recent departure of Gonzalo Luján to Inter Miami, leaving the team with a vacancy in their squad and the opportunity to seek a reinforcement in the market. If his arrival is confirmed, San Lorenzo would have two Basque players in their ranks, adding Illarramendi to Muniain, who has already become a key piece of the team. It remains to be seen whether the interest translates into a concrete negotiation or if the Spanish midfielder ends up exploring other options.
