After the scandal that erupted when the news broke that the youth player from the Seventh Division, Lucas Scarlato, would leave River due to parental authority, Parma opened negotiations in recent hours to leave a percentage of a future sale to the Millionaires.

When the news came out, there were conflicting statements and tensions between both clubs quickly escalated. Lorena Cuervo, the mother of the 16-year-old youth player, defended the representative Martín Guastadisegno and pointed against the Núñez institution, saying that it "did not take care" of the footballer and blamed the management.

In the early days of this year, the conflict continued. River filed a formal complaint with FIFA against the agent, whom they hold responsible for the premature departure of a youth player without financial compensation. The claim pointed to an alleged maneuver that would have harmed the club's assets and development process.

Currently, negotiations have opened from Italy with the Argentine club, although the first proposal they made was rejected. Talks between the parties began after River warned Parma that if they did not reach an agreement, they were determined to take the situation to court.

Additionally, the Millionaires also notified Milan and Sampdoria, clubs that ultimately decided against signing the youth player, who was one of the main promises of the youth divisions.

It is worth noting that this negotiation also began after the Argentine Football Association (AFA) decided not to call up any of the youth national teams for those underage players who, without the agreement of the club they are registered with, leave the institution, a measure aimed at protecting the interests of the institutions.
