Matías Olguín’s move to Gimnasia y Tiro falls through
The deal that would have taken Matías Olguín to Gimnasia y Tiro has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to San Lorenzo with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

No place for Ramiro Pedroza in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ramiro Pedroza has his answer from San Lorenzo; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
