River Plate is said to have already formalized an offer for Gianluca Prestianni with Benfica. The Argentine winger has been linked with an exit from the Estádio da Luz in recent weeks, as he has not accumulated the desired minutes this season.

This information is being reported in the Argentine press by journalist Cesar Merlo, a transfer specialist. The news is also cited by the Portuguese newspaper Record, which further explains that Gianluca Prestianni is open to this move to River Plate.

According to available information, River Plate aims to secure a one-year loan deal for Gianluca Prestianni, in a deal that includes a purchase option for the winger. According to Record, the Argentinians would even be willing to pay a fee for the player's loan.

This news follows River Plate's interest, which has existed for some time. However, the historic Argentine club has now formalized an offer for Gianluca Prestianni, who recently made his debut for the Argentina national team.

Benfica, it should be recalled, signed Gianluca Prestianni from Vélez Sarsfield in January 2024. Since the start of this season, the player has featured in 16 matches, scoring two goals and providing one assist. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, it is possible that the winger wants to get more minutes in order to secure a place in the international competition.
