The elimination of River against Independiente Santa Fe in the Copa Sudamericana could lead to significant movements within the squad. One of the players whose future is in doubt is Lucas Martínez Quarta, who received a formal offer from the United Arab Emirates.
The proposal became known after the Núñez team was eliminated from the international competition and amid the change of coach. Although there is still no confirmation regarding the departure of the center-back, the scenario could change following Eduardo Coudet's departure.
Al Sadd had also sought Martínez Quarta
The interest from the Middle East is not new. Al Sadd from Qatar had already made a formal proposal for the defender, although River decided to reject it when Coudet was still in charge of the team.
The offer included a loan with an obligation to buy for 5 million dollars, provided certain sporting objectives were met. At that time, Coudet considered Martínez Quarta as a key piece of the defense and one of the team's leaders. For that reason, the management chose not to proceed with the proposal from the Qatari club.
