Godoy Cruz signed a promising player from Vélez Sarsfield

Godoy Cruz isn't slowing down in the transfer market , and in the last few hours, they finalized a new addition to their senior squad, which faces the Professional League 's Clausura Tournament and the Copa Sudamericana. This is a promising player from the Vélez Sarsfield youth academy.

The Expreso's newest player is Maximiliano Porcel, a 19-year-old youth player who can play as an attacking midfielder or on the right wing. He excelled in Fortín's youth system, where he won the Proyección tournament, scoring twice in the final against San Lorenzo. He has also played nine First Division matches , including eight appearances in the Apertura Tournament and one in the Argentine Cup.

However, in recent months he had a disciplinary issue with Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who decided to exclude him from the senior squad and send him back to the Reserves.

At the time, the midfielder said: " I made a mistake and I'm sorry for what happened. It helped me learn. I asked to speak with Guillermo, apologized, and started training with the Reserves. I'm going to keep giving my all."

The coach's response was swift, stating: " What happened with Porcel is behind us . What I told him at the time was that he had to go down and excel to come back with us. He has the chance to come up, like all the reserve team players, as he excels."

However , the relationship with the coach seems to have no return , so the Board of Directors of the Liniers team recommended that he look for new horizons to add minutes and return to the club, where he has a contract until the end of 2027.

He was initially rumored to be a player for River Plate, but Tomba was the one who landed him. According to reports, the deal is a one-year loan.
