This deal shows how crazy the South American football transfer market can be. While Peñarol got to keep Fernández other teams are making big moves too. Like Red Bull Bragantino got Isidro Pitta which is pretty big for Brazilian football. Also Eduardo Domínguez staying longer at Estudiantes shows how teams in Argentine Primera División are making smart moves.

- Estudiantes: Eduardo Domínguez extends his tenure with Estudiantes.
All these transfers and players staying at teams shows how clubs are trying to get better players to win more games. The transfer market is still changing how South American football looks and works.
