Transfer market: River negotiates against the clock for Francisco Álvarez

River is not backing down in the transfer market: negotiating against the clock for Francisco Álvarez In Núñez, negotiations with Argentinos have resumed for the defender's transfer due to the possible departure of Lucas Martínez Quarta, who is considering offers from Italy and Qatar. What if River's transfer market hasn't closed yet and there's a surprise at the end?

Despite appearing to have closed the door with the nine reinforcements that arrived in this second half of the year, with a significant financial investment, the situation changed and took a turn in recent days. The search for a central defender has resumed firmly, and the offices at the Monumental are already working against the clock for Francisco Álvarez.

Such is the need that a week ago they made an offer for Walter Ditta that did not succeed. With time until September 2, the date when the transfer window closes in Argentine football, the Millionaire has revived the intention to go for a tenth new face partly due to the possibility that Lucas Martínez Quarta leaves the club.

The Chino has come under scrutiny after another failed performance with Independiente Santa Fe, including a missed penalty, and the parties do not view a departure unfavorably. In light of this, negotiations with Argentinos Juniors for their first central defender have been revived.

So far, all proposals that have arrived at the Monumental have not succeeded since in Núñez they seek a sale and not a loan, as was attempted by Al Sadd, an entity that offered a loan with an obligation to buy for 5 million dollars based on objectives. However, they are open to continue negotiating.
