Estudiantes pulled off a key move in the transfer market and was cleared to add Baltasar Rodríguez to the squad competing in the Torneo Clausura. The decision came after the club freed up a roster spot, an administrative step that opens the door for the former Racing player to be registered.
The roster spot that changed the picture
The move was unlocked by the departure of Lucas Cornejo, one of the gems produced by the club’s youth ranks. The youngster will continue his career in Ecuador, and that exit left a place available in the professional squad list.
With that spot now free, Estudiantes is in a position to move ahead with the registration of Baltasar Rodríguez, a signing the club had been assessing to strengthen the squad at this stage of the championship.

What it means for the La Plata team
