Newell’s Confirms Gabriel Arias as First Reinforcement of the Window

The 38-year-old arrives on a free to plug a goalkeeping gap created by recent departures.

Overview

  • The club announced the veteran goalkeeper as its first addition under president Ignacio Boero and football manager Roberto Sensini.
  • Arriving in Rosario with his registration after declining a new deal at Racing, Arias joins as a free agent.
  • He is expected to sign a one-season contract, with local reports differing on whether his medical has already been completed.
  • The move addresses a thin position following the exits of Keylor Navas and Lucas Hoyos and inconsistent form from Juan Espínola and Williams Barlasina.
  • Arias ceded the starting role at Racing to Facundo Cambeses in late 2025 and, as a Chilean national, will not occupy a foreign-player slot.
