At Coudet’s request, River set sights on Giovanni Simeone and Franco Cervi | OneFootball

While he is still settling into his position, Coudet is already starting to plan for the next transfer window and has asked the management for two high-profile reinforcements after the World Cup. Chacho wants Giovanni Simeone and Franco Cervi, both currently playing in European football.

The main target would be Simeone, who is at Torino and appears to be the chosen name to strengthen an area of concern. The son of Cholo has a contract until 2028 and, according to Transfermarkt, his transfer is valued at around five million euros.

The striker, who came up through the club, already knows what it means to wear the Millonario jersey. He debuted in 2013 under Ramón Díaz and was part of the squad that won major titles such as the 2014 Sudamericana and the 2015 Libertadores before moving to European football.

The other name on the list is Cervi, one of Coudet’s favorites. He coached him at Central and later at Celta de Vigo, where he helped him improve again. Currently, his future in Spain is uncertain; his contract expires mid-year and a renewal seems unlikely, especially since he has only played three matches this season.
