Getafe name Mauro Arambarri price: River's stance and next steps | OneFootball

For several weeks now, River has set its sights on Mauro Arambarri, an experienced Uruguayan midfielder who currently wears the Getafe shirt in Spain’s top flight. Eduardo Coudet believes it is essential to add a high-level midfielder in the next transfer window.

In any case, although the midfielder is seriously considering returning to South America to wear the River shirt, and despite Getafe opening the door to facilitate the transfer, it is not that simple. The Spanish side has laid out tough demands to let one of its best players leave.

Getafe wants to pocket €6 million to part ways with the 12-time Uruguay international. In other words, the same amount it once invested to secure the midfielder’s services when he arrived in Spain from Girondins de Bordeaux.

The particularity is that Getafe only owns 50 percent of Arambarri’s rights, so that asking price would only allow River to acquire half of the rights to the player who also previously wore the Defensor Sporting shirt. It is a considerable investment, and one that does not fully convince the club from Núñez.

With that in mind, the goal of Stefano Di Carlo and company is to begin negotiations with Getafe’s executives in order to bring down the demands for the Salto-born player, who joined the club back in August 2017 and has now spent practically a decade with the Azulones.

It is no minor detail that 30% of Arambarri’s rights belong to the Uruguayan club Boston River, while the remaining 20% is owned by the player himself. Initially, El Millonario wanted to secure at least Getafe’s 50% share as well as the player’s portion. However, given the Spanish club’s demands, it could end up acquiring only half of the rights.

Arambarri represented his national team at both the 2015 South American U-20 Championship and the U-20 World Cup that same year. He made his senior debut for Uruguay in 2020, although he has never been able to establish himself as a regular under Marcelo Bielsa, Uruguay’s current head coach.
