Paraguayan striker Ronaldo Martínez, currently on loan at Vélez Sarsfield from Talleres, is nearing a permanent transfer due to his high scoring rate in the Argentine Torneo Clausura. Martínez has recorded nine goals in eight matches, placing him among the tournament top scorers.

Initial reports indicated that reaching a ten goal threshold would trigger a mandatory purchase clause for 50% of his economic rights, costing approximately USD 3,000,000 including taxes and deductions. This would prevent Talleres from exercising scheduled repurchase options in late 2024 and mid 2027.

As negotiations progress, the Vélez board, led by Fabián Berlanga, is reportedly seeking an alternative purchase option. This proposed deal would involve approximately USD 2,325,000 for 75% of his economic rights. Martínez has expressed a desire to remain with the club, stating he has felt part of the team since his arrival. Discussions between Vélez leadership and Talleres, headed by Andrés Fassi, are ongoing.
