The back and forth has ended happily. In the midst of a difficult week for River, with the elimination in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores against Palmeiras and the defeat with Atlético Tucumán for the local championship, the Millionaire can close this Friday with good news regarding his squad.

The saga related to the future of Ian Subiabre has come to an end. The youngster, in conflict over his contract renewal, finally agreed, verbally, to renew his link with River and will be able to be available to Marcelo Gallardo again. Likewise, he will also be part of the Argentina national team squad in the U20 World Cup.

The AFA, as a pressure measure in this issue, had conditioned Subiabre's presence in Diego Placente's team. If he did not renew with the Núñez team, he would not be able to be in the youth event that will be played in Chile. Finally, to make the whole story have a positive outcome, his renewal with River was sealed this Friday.

The main obstacle in his renewal was a dispute between the two parties. River wanted to put a release clause of 100 million dollars, like all its youngsters, but his representation -led by Claudio Paul Caniggia- refused to do so, unless he was given a salary according to that clause.

After these back and forth, which had been going on for months and which became much more tense in recent days, a meeting was held at the AFA in which a renewal was agreed that left all parties satisfied. Ian Subiabre will be taken into account by Gallardo at River again, and he will be able to play the U20 World Cup without problems. End of the saga.

Finally, Subiabre's entourage and the player himself agreed to extend his contract with River until December 2028. In addition, his salary will be improved and he will be shielded with the release clause of 100 million dollars that Bautista Dadín, Santiago Lencina and Alex Woiski, among other youngsters, already have.

Subiabre's numbers for the year

Ian Subiabre plays in a position where there is a lot of competition. Maximiliano Salas, Facundo Colidio, Sebastián Driussi and Miguel Ángel Borja are ahead of him in the consideration of Marcelo Gallardo, even so he managed to make a place and added minutes so far this year. In total he accumulates 425 minutes distributed in 15 matches in which he scored a goal and provided an assist.
