Is River out of the running? Unión set their price for Mateo Del Blanco | OneFootball

River's 2025 was not good at all. Marcelo Gallardo's team did not win any titles and their performance was also unsatisfactory. There were significant changes in the squad, a lot of money was spent on reinforcements that have yet to deliver, and that's why there will be a change in 2026, where contracts will be signed with a basic salary and then bonuses for objectives.

The club's intention is to strengthen the squad with a few players, but of high quality and in specific positions. After the departure of Milton Casco and with only Marcos Acuña in the position, the Millonario will go for a left-back and there are several names on the list, one of them being Mateo Del Blanco, who plays for Unión.

How much money does Unión want for Mateo Del Blanco? In recent hours, it has been confirmed that Unión wants 4 million dollars for Mateo Del Blanco, the 22-year-old left-back who shone at Tatengue and is, so far, the top assist provider in the Clausura Tournament. The sum seems somewhat high and surely in the coming days negotiations will begin, which could involve a Millonario player on loan.

What other left-backs are of interest?

Besides Mateo Del Blanco, Núñez has set their sights on Julio Soler, who plays for Bournemouth in the Premier League. On the other hand, they are also interested in Elías Báez from San Lorenzo. At one point, the Millonario considered Román Vega, but Zenir is not interested in letting him go.
