Club Atlético River Plate considers Facundo Colidio's potential exit to Vasco da Gama
Club Atlético River Plate may lose Facundo Colidio in this transfer window. According to Brazilian reports, Vasco da Gama has already begun negotiations to sign the 26-year-old striker, with an offer close to $4 million. The River Plate board is evaluating the proposal while strengthening Eduardo Coudet's squad.
What does Vasco da Gama offer for Colidio?
The Rio de Janeiro club aims to buy 100% of the player's rights. Colidio joined River in 2023 for €4.6 million from Inter Milan. With five goals and three assists this season, he is seen as a key reinforcement for Vasco's attack. His versatility as a center forward, second striker, or winger makes him attractive to the Brazilian team.
How does this affect River?
With League standing: 15th in Liga Profesional Argentina, 0 pts, 0W-0D-2L from 2 games, recent form LLLWW, River aims to reconfigure its attack. Selling Colidio could free up funds for new signings, though it would also reduce Coudet's offensive options. The striker has been part of two titles with the club: the 2023 Champions Trophy and the Argentine Super Cup.
What's next for Colidio and River?
Negotiations continue, and River's final stance will depend on the offer and the team's needs. Meanwhile, the club remains active in the market, seeking to balance departures and arrivals to strengthen the squad for the second half of the season.
