A bit of background on this club, Deportivo Reistra - they made global headlines by fielding Argentine YouTube and Twitch streamer Iván "Spreen" Buhajeruk in an official Primera División match against Vélez Sarsfield. Spreen started as a striker but was substituted after just 50 seconds without touching the ball. The stunt, which the club admitted was a marketing initiative for their main energy drink sponsor, sparked outrage throughout the Argentine football community. Notable players and managers condemned it as a "lack of respect" to the sport, and the Argentine Football Association (AFA) Ethics Committee launched an investigation into the matter (you know its serious when the AFA investigate the ethics of this, considering how unethical they're themselves)... Their sponsor is an energy drink that does all sort of weird promos like this so no surprise they're "linked" to him.. In Argentina, very few imports are actually signed & vast majority of players are locals, and academy players.. With the moment a player is good enough, they get sold overseas.. Remember, clubs in Argentina are owned by the members of the club & none of them have a foreign backer/owner, so its highly unlikely this will actually happen
