Agustín Cannobio, on River's radar for the transfer market | OneFootball

Looking ahead and seeking to shape the squad to fit Eduardo Coudet’s plans, River has started making moves ahead of the winter transfer window. Amid a turbulent present, internal planning for the second half of the year got underway with big names, and now one more has been added to the list: Agustín Cannobio, the Uruguayan winger who has a chance of playing in the 2026 World Cup.

Alongside the interest in his compatriot Mauro Arambarri, which recently came to light, the list of possible reinforcements Coudet is considering for the mid-year window must also include the 27-year-old player, who currently plays for Fluminense.

With a contract running until the end of 2028 at the team managed by Luis Zubeldía, those at Núñez know it will not be an easy task to pry away a player who is regularly called up by Marcelo Bielsa. However, the charm offensive has already begun at the hands of Coudet himself, who contacted the attacker and conveyed his desire to bring him into River’s ranks.

Now the ball is in Cannobio’s court: if he gives the green light, a second key stage will open up, which will be to start negotiations with Flu and try to agree on a fee that would allow River to secure his services for the second half of 2026. According to Transfermarkt, his transfer value is around six million euros.

So far this year, the forward — who can play on either wing and even take on a deeper role as an attacking midfielder — has made 21 appearances, with four goals and six assists. He is a starter for Zubeldía in a team that sits third in the Brasileirão, although they have not had a good start in the Copa Libertadores, where they are bottom of their group after the first three matchdays.
