River Plate is interested in signing Gianluca Prestianni. According to information provided by the newspaper O Jogo, the historic Argentine club wants to acquire José Mourinho's player on loan, and some meetings have already taken place with the representative of the international player.
Primarily on loan, as in this way, the Clube da Luz would not receive any significant financial compensation.
With a market value of 8 million euros, Benfica might be open to negotiating the player permanently, freeing up funds to pursue some market targets. However, River Plate is not willing to meet the financial demands of Clube da Luz.
Recently, Gianluca Prestianni made his debut for Argentina's senior national team, which significantly increased the international profile of the Benfica winger. On social media, the athlete did not hide his happiness: "A date that will be remembered forever. Thank you very much to everyone who has always supported me.”
This season, wearing Benfica's jersey, Gianluca Prestianni played 14 matches: eight in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the League Cup, and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 399 minutes he was on the field, the winger scored one goal (against Tondela) and made one assist (against Arouca).
