Club Atlético River Plate is waiting for a firm offer to sell Lautaro Rivero, the 22-year-old central defender. According to AS, the sporting department led by Erik Bretos opened contacts with the club two months ago. Rivero is considered an attractive profile and has admirers in major leagues, but the club needs to decide if they sell him. To strengthen the squad of coach Coudet, River Plate needs to make sales and increase the value of its players. The director of operations, Longoria, values Rivero and believes that a tournament alongside Otamendi could increase his value. The club is waiting for a firm offer and will only sanction a transfer if it meets their conditions. Options such as sell-on percentages and future profit shares are being explored, with clubs like Real Sociedad and Betis as platforms to boost his value in Europe. Real Sociedad also has other central defenders on their list, as they consider that Rivero is being pursued by several clubs. Like other young players from River, Rivero has a $100 million release clause, a protection to avoid low-price exits and direct negotiations.
