Sportivo San Lorenzo Confirms Player Departures Amid Relegation Fears

Sportivo San Lorenzo has officially announced the departure of four players as the club grapples with a difficult season and the looming threat of relegation. The Paraguayan team finished the Apertura 2026 tournament with a meager 15 points out of a possible 66, placing their top-tier status in serious jeopardy.

The club confirmed the exits of Mario López Quintana, Ignacio Figueroa, Matías Alfonso, and Elías Alderete. These departures signal a significant squad overhaul as the team prepares for the upcoming Clausura championship, which kicks off on July 24. Sportivo San Lorenzo is set to face Recoleta FC in their opening match.

Despite the bleak outlook, the club's management is reportedly working diligently to strengthen the squad and avoid relegation. However, attracting new talent is proving challenging due to the team's precarious position. The team's third coach of the year, Troadio Daniel Duarte, has been tasked with improving the team's performance and securing their place in the top division.

Preparations for the Clausura championship are scheduled to begin next week. The club's ability to secure new signings and improve on their current form will be critical in their fight to remain in the top flight of Paraguayan football.
