When everything indicated that the summer transfer market would close this Tuesday, January 20, an administrative resolution by AFA changed the scenario at the last minute. While everyone waits for the official confirmation, the Professional League will have a one-week extension and the closing of signings will be moved to next Tuesday, the 27th.
The measure will grant an extra margin to the clubs, which had been negotiating against the clock in the final hours of the original deadline. With this extension, the transfer window will remain open beyond what was expected and will make it possible to reorganize deals that seemed to have fallen through or been delayed. In addition, the measure would benefit the only two teams that have not yet completed any signings: Banfield and Boca.
However, what will not undergo changes is the exception established for international transfers. The regulations will continue to allow clubs to sign players until March 21 in those cases in which an Argentine club sells or loans players abroad once the local market has closed.
