What we know
Gimnasia de La Plata are targeting a return for goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey in 2027, when his Independiente contract expires in December 2026; El Intransigente (5 Sep) reports the club has spoken to his representatives about a free‑transfer move that would take effect once the deal runs out. Interest first surfaced on 2 Jun when TyC Sports reported an inquiry deemed practically impossible because of Rey’s high wage; Radio Gol echoed the same line on 3 Jun, framing the move as unlikely and stressing that the salary gap made any immediate deal unrealistic.
