Review

Pre-season

Exequiel Beltramone left Talleres on loan on 24 June 2019, signing for Mitre of Primera B Nacional. Two further players were loaned out to that division on 27 June, with Alejandro Maciel and Santiago Moyano both moving to Villa Dálmine. Their first permanent departure came hours later, as Rodrigo Burgos went to Brown. Goalkeeper Kevin Humeler went away from Talleres on 28 June, securing a contract with San Martín. Franco Fragapane completed a move in from Unión Santa Fe on 30 June. Numerous loans from the previous campaign officially expired on and around 30 June. Nicolás Giménez departed to Arsenal de Sarandí on 1 July. Soon after, centre-forwards Catriel Sánchez and Marcos Arturia joined Maciel and Moyano on loan with Villa Dálmine of tier two.

Back-to-back friendlies were set with General Paz Juniors for 3 July, as Talleres came out with respective 2–0 and 3–0 victories at the Estadio La Boutique; with Uruguayan centre-forward Junior Arias scoring in the former, ahead of a potential return to the club. Diego Valoyes, whose loan ended days prior, rejoined for a further season-long deal from La Equidad on 4 July. Talleres' first pre-season match with Instituto on 6 July was prematurely ended, with the referee blowing for full-time early due to aggressive behaviour between the two sets of players; a second encounter was still played, though ended goalless. Río Cuarto-based Estudiantes were defeated in an extended friendly on 10 July, with Leonel Rivas netting its sole goal. Junior Arias resigned on a full-time contract on 16 July.

Two goalless draws with Patronato were played out on 17 July. Nahuel Bustos returned from his loan spell in Mexico with Pachuca on 20 July. He converted a penalty in a friendly with league rivals Central Córdoba a day later, though Talleres would lose on spot-kicks 4–5 at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. Aldo Araujo was loaned by Nueva Chicago on 22 July. Fernando Juárez headed off on loan to Agropecuario on 23 July. Talleres signed a loan deal with Jony of Independiente on 25 July, while Sebastián Palacios' temporary contract from Pachuca was terminated on the same day as he went the other way to Independiente.

August

American attacking midfielder Joel Soñora, having trained with them earlier in the day, went on loan to Arsenal de Sarandí on 1 August. In the succeeding hours, Talleres reached an agreement with Banfield for a loan swap transaction involving, the recently signed, Junior Arias and Martín Payero. Talleres' opening loss of 2019–20 came on 3 August, as Rosario Central beat them 1–0 at the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito. Talleres were beaten in back-to-back exhibitions by Vélez Sarsfield on 10 August. Talleres and Central Córdoba experienced a 1–1 draw in the Primera División on 16 August.
