The 28-year-old took over the captaincy this year from Pablo Matera. The former captain will be departing Los Jaguares to play for Stade Français at the end of the 2020 Super Rugby season, joining Nicolás Sánchez a the Top 14 club.
Earlier this week two other Jaguares were confirmed as departing Los Jaguares. Martín Landajo and Santiago García Botta both signed to play in the English Premiership for the Harlequins. With de la Fuente remaining it is welcome news for Argentine rugby.
