River Plate is looking to sign Betis midfielder Nelson Deossa in a bid to strengthen their midfield. The Argentine club is willing to offer a lower amount than what Betis is asking for the player. Deossa arrived at Betis last summer as one of the most promising signings of the summer. After having good seasons in Pachuca and Monterrey, Betis decided to pay almost 12 million for him to strengthen the center of the field. Deossa never gave the expected performance during the season, so he has become transferable and is one of the ways for Betis to balance the accounts. For now, the club that is showing the most interest in the player is River Plate. Eduardo Coudet, coach of the Argentine team, is trying to exert pressure to make the operation happen as soon as possible. However, it seems that the negotiations will take longer. Betis wants to get at least 10 million for the player, but River is not very willing to reach that offer. The Argentines want to try to get him on loan, but Betis will only accept a sale. Additionally, Deossa may have to accept a salary cut, because if he arrives at the team with his current salary, 2.30 M per year, he would become the second highest-paid player in the team. Deossa is a very physical midfielder who likes to play on the rival field and appear from the second line, in fact, during his stay in the Liga MX he scored 17 goals in 2 seasons. The long shot is one of his great arms and the way most of his goals arrive. During this season, River Plate has normally played with a 4-1-3-2 or a 4-2-3-1. In any case, Deossa can be that midfielder who plays in a more advanced position, just behind the forwards, to have the opportunity to get closer to the goal and recover his most goal-scoring version.
