Club Sport Emelec is actively working in the transfer market to bolster their squad ahead of the LigaPro 2026. Following a tough beginning to the season characterized by a mass exodus of players, the blue team's management is focused on restructuring their lineup. Reports indicate that Argentine forward Francisco Pizzini is set to join the team after agreeing to terminate his contract with Vélez Sarsfield. Although no official announcement has been made by the Guayaquil club yet, the negotiations appear to be progressing well.

According to sports journalist César Luis Merlo, the 32-year-old attacker will travel to sign a one-year contract with Emelec after becoming a free agent. Previous updates from journalist Javier Ruiz during his program 'De Una' suggested that discussions were advanced, hinting at an imminent confirmation of the deal. The potential signing is seen as a significant move for Emelec as they look to enhance their roster and competitiveness in the upcoming season.

Pizzini's arrival as a free agent means that Emelec will not incur a transfer fee, making this a cost-effective move as they strive to optimize their squad dynamics. As Emelec prepares for upcoming challenges in LigaPro 2026, the integration of Pizzini could provide a much-needed boost to their attacking capabilities, reflecting the club’s commitment to improved performance amidst recent transitions within the team.
