Chilean midfielder Pablo Galdames will become the new reinforcement for Burgos of Spain after terminating his contract with Independiente in exchange for financial compensation. According to an investigation by the Argentine News Agency, the South American midfielder, whose last club was Vasco da Gama of Brazil, will end his link with the 'Red' this Tuesday at 12:00 and will travel to the Spanish country to sign with the Segunda B team for 17 months. In all, the economic compensation that Burgos will pay to the Avellaneda squad would be around 160,000 dollars. Galdames arrived in Villa Domínico in March 2025 with Julio Vaccari as the team's coach and maintained a contract with Independiente until December 2026, but after not being considered by Gustavo Quinteros for the Opening Tournament, the player would prefer to emigrate to the old continent prematurely. The Chilean midfielder played 33 matches with the red shirt in which he scored four goals and two assists. After a strong first half of 2025 that placed him as a key pillar of Vaccari's system, his performance declined in the second half, just like the entire squad, and he was unable to recover it. In the last clásico against Racing as a visitor, which ended in a goalless draw for the tenth date of the Closing Tournament, the 29-year-old player missed a clear chance to open the score and give the victory to the 'Red Devils'. This action also seemed to break the relationship with the fans, and the player born in Santiago de Chile would not see a move to Spain to continue his professional career negatively.
