Overview
- Roberto Sensini said the club has held no talks with Lionel Messi and stressed any return would be the player’s decision, with reports linking the rumor to vice president Juan Manuel Medina’s 2027 comment.
- Sensini described Newell’s as a team in formation with 10 to 12 new arrivals and asked supporters for patience after taking one point from the first three league matches.
- He detailed recent moves that brought back loanees and added reinforcements, including Oscar Salomón, Gabriel Arias, Nicolás Goitea, Bruno Cabrera, Gabriel Risso Patrón, Rodrigo Herrera, Walter Núñez, Michael Hoyos and Matías Cóccaro, plus key youth renewals for Valentino Acuña and Jerónimo Gómez Mattar.
- The new board processed 14 expiring contracts, completed the sale of Luciano Herrera with financial benefits and debt recovery, and confirmed Ever Banega’s automatic renewal before the player informed the club he would not continue.
- Sensini said defender Fabián Noguera is training apart after failing to agree on a salary reduction and extension, and he noted a temporary allowance to register six foreign players due to Juan Ignacio Ramírez’s return, with priority placed on promoting academy talent.
