The signing of Lautaro Blanco for Elche has already been closed by his current club, Rosario Central, as reported in a note on their social networks: “Lautaro Blanco will continue his career at Elche from 2023. Rosario Central has completed the sale to the Spanish club, This is 100% of his pass. The defender will wear our jersey until the end of the current tournament”.
In this way, and in the absence of Martínez Valero’s endorsement, Christian Bragarnik assures that he is one of Argentina’s most promising left-backs today. Blanco will cost around 2m euros in an operation that has been prepaid from the South American country by the Rosario board of directors in recent weeks.
Blanco’s participation will not be immediate, as he will continue in his country until the championship in which his team is currently playing is over. It is expected to land on the Elche estate in January 2023, but its position will be overbooked. Currently, Elche has the option of Josema, in addition to Mojica and Clerc, to occupy this border and, looking to the future, Salinas, who was recently loaned to Mirandés for the 2022/23 season. For this reason, Elche should investigate what steps it should take to reflect Blanco.
23-year-old Lautaro Blanco transferred to the Rosario Central A team in January 2021. Since then, he has made 81 appearances in 81 official games, without scoring, but with a total of 10 assists. 25 matches so far (14 League Cups, 10 Leagues and 1 Cup) on this course. He had a contract until December 2023 and his market value is one and a half million euros, according to Transfermarkt.
