- Talks have begun for Fausto Vera at Atlético Mineiro, while Estudiantes’ stance could complicate a move for Santiago Ascacíbar, who is valued around $5–6 million.
- Tadeo Allende was formally offered to River, though any deal must be negotiated with Celta de Vigo as his loan at Inter Miami runs to December 31.
- After River declined to renew him, Miguel Borja was photographed with Carlos Bacca and is being considered by Club América, Cruz Azul and Tigres, with reports saying he rejected Alianza Lima and prefers Mexico or Brazil.
- At Alianza Lima, the board is reported to have decided against renewing Hernán Barcos, and Paolo Guerrero publicly denied influencing the move while expressing that he wants Barcos to stay.
