Iván Silva's loan from Newell's Old Boys was extended on 11 June. A day later, Leonardo Zaragoza became departure number three as he joined Estudiantes (BA), though the club did soon announce their first incomings. Gastón Grecco was followed in the door by goalkeeper Mauro Ruggiero, signing respectively from Cañuelas and Flandria. Further outgoings were confirmed in the days after, with Alexis Vega (Temperley) and Maximiliano Resquín (Colegiales) leaving. Brown announced five arrivals on 26 June, with the loans of Elías Contreras and Nahuel Rodríguez being followed by Ezequiel Bonacorso, Iván Becker and Tomás Molina.

Matías Cortave was the seventh name to leave on 27 June, as he went to Deportivo Morón. Paraguayan midfielder Rodrigo Burgos, from Talleres (C), joined them on that day, before Matías Ruiz Sosa made it nine to go by penning a deal with Comunicaciones. Numerous loans from the previous campaign officially expired on and around 30 June. Fernando Enrique came through the door soon after, as did Guillermo Sotelo.
