Overview
- The Asociación del Fútbol Argentino announced on Tuesday that the domestic transfer window is extended from July 21 to Friday, July 31 and that clubs selling or loaning players abroad after that date may register replacements until September 2.
- The change lets teams keep making signings after the Torneo Clausura starts this weekend and creates a separate, month-long window for swaps tied to outbound international moves.
- Unión de Santa Fe has doubled down on a ‘repatriation’ plan to bring back familiar players, signing Ignacio Malcorra, Mauro Luna Diale and Joaquín Mosqueira to speed squad cohesion under coach Leonardo Carol.
- Unión expects extra registration space because it has already sold Rafael Profini, Del Blanco and Mauro Pittón to foreign clubs, a factor that the new AFA rule formalises into extra time to find replacements.
- Some signings remain conditional on clearance from FIFA, for example a reported inhibition by Juventud Las Piedras that could delay Mauro Luna Diale’s eligibility, and the extension continues a recent pattern of last‑minute AFA deadline moves that affect club planning.
