Federico Girotti Meets Argentine Club President Amid Alianza Lima Transfer Speculation

Federico Girotti expresses desire to return to San Lorenzo in near future Argentine forward Federico Girotti met with San Lorenzo officials during a recent trip to Buenos Aires, signaling his intention to return to the club in the near future. The 26-year-old striker attended the goalless draw between San Lorenzo and Vélez Sarsfield at Nuevo Gasómetro before holding talks with club president Sergio Costantino and Pablo Barrientos. According to journalist Luca Bonafina, Girotti stated his wish to “return to the club in a near future” during the meeting. The forward, who spent the second half of 2023 on loan at San Lorenzo from Talleres, made 13 appearances and scored one goal during that spell. Girotti’s current situation at Alianza Lima remains challenging. The Peruvian champions paid $1.6 million for 50% of his playing rights just months ago, but he has struggled to make an impact, featuring in only five matches for 99 minutes without scoring or assisting. He is currently recovering from a shoulder injury sustained while playing for Alianza Lima. Despite his desire to return to Boedo, an immediate move back to San Lorenzo appears unlikely due to Girotti’s existing contractual obligations and the absence of active negotiations between the clubs. His focus remains on justifying Alianza Lima’s investment while continuing his rehabilitation. The forward’s time at River Plate earlier in his career included 33 appearances and four goals between 2018 and 2022 before his transfer to Talleres, where he has made 93 appearances and scored 14 goals since 2022. His brief stint with Alianza Lima began in 2026, with four appearances recorded as of March 2026. Girotti’s visit to Argentina has drawn attention from fans and media alike, reigniting discussions about his future amid a difficult start to his Alianza Lima campaign under head coach Pablo Guede.
