Getafe name price for Mauro Arambarri: River stance, next steps | OneFootball

For several weeks now, River have set their sights on Mauro Arambarri, an experienced Uruguayan midfielder who currently plays for Getafe in Spain’s top flight. Eduardo Coudet believes it is essential to bring in a top-class midfielder in the next transfer window.

In any case, although the midfielder is seriously considering a return to South America to wear the River shirt, and despite Getafe having opened the door to help facilitate the transfer, it is not that simple. The Spanish club have laid down tough demands to let one of their best players leave.

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

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

With that in mind, the goal of Stefano Di Carlo and company is to begin negotiations with Getafe’s board in order to reduce the demands for the Salto-born midfielder, 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 Uruguayan club Boston River, while the remaining 20% is owned by the player himself. Initially, River intended to acquire at least Getafe’s 50% and the player’s share. However, given the Spanish club’s demands, they may end up buying only half of his rights.

Arambarri represented his country at both the 2015 South American Under-20 Championship and the Under-20 World Cup that same year. He made his senior debut for Uruguay in 2020, although he has never managed to become a regular fixture under Marcelo Bielsa, Uruguay’s current head coach.
