A major conflict in Independiente is over. The kind that kept the leaders, the coaching staff and the fans worried. Santiago Lopezthe 17-year-old gem who shone in Diego Placente’s Argentine National Team, signed this Thursday the renewal of her contract that expired at the end of the year and now their bond was extended until December 2026 with a $20 million exit clause.
The situation of this youth attacker who only has one appearance in the top category (he debuted under Ricardo Zielinski in 2023) was quite a state issue in Rojo, but who excites everyone with his unbalanced and offensive game.
The leadership had been talking for months to try to shield him and did not want his case to become something similar to what happened at some point with Claudio ‘Diablito’ Echeverri in River. For this reason, days ago they had made a drastic determination from the Board of Directors: hang it until its panorama is regularized.
This decision had even been endorsed by Carlos Tevez. What changed? Last week the parties came closer after a key event that changed everything. López changed his representative. He dispensed with the agent Thomas of Lucawhom the leadership pointed out as responsible for the delay in the signing, and sealed an agreement with Hernan Berman.
The contacts were revived, the kid assured the directors that his intention was to continue in the Avellaneda club, where he trained, and finally the story had a happy ending: in these hours and from this Friday he will rejoin to training with the First Division team to be taken into account by Carlos Tevez again.
His signature joins that of another promising project from the quarry like the boy Thomas Parmowho at just turned 16 signed his first professional contract last week and is a fixture on the substitute bench of Carlitos’ team, while he waits for his official debut to arrive at some point.
