River optimistic as talks continue to extend Subiabre's contract | OneFootball

Contrary to rumors of a possible non-renewal, both the club management and the player’s camp are showing a good disposition to extend the contract. Although the youngster’s current contract runs until December 2026, talks are continuing without any rush.

River is moving forward optimistically to secure Ian Subiabre, one of its main prospects. Despite the rumors circulating in recent days about a possible non-renewal, there is a sense of calm in the halls of the Monumental. The management and the player’s camp share a common vision and maintain a fluid dialogue that, at least for now, keeps any kind of conflict at bay.

The forward, who came up through the Comisión de Actividades Infantiles of Comodoro Rivadavia, arrived in Núñez in 2022 and quickly stood out in the youth divisions. His talent led the club to purchase 70% of his rights and sign him to a professional contract until the end of 2025. A year later, in 2024, that contract was extended until December 2026.

Now, the club’s top management is looking to secure Subiabre’s continuity for the long term, fully aware of the young player’s potential. The main idea is to renew his contract until 2028 and adjust the terms of the agreement to reflect his current status and future potential.

Although both parties have already reached an understanding regarding the contract extension and a salary increase for the player, the main point of discussion is the release clause. Currently, Subiabre’s release clause is set at 30 million dollars, a figure River considers insufficient given his quality and the breakout they expect from him in the first team.

The Núñez club has proposed raising that clause to 100 million dollars, a figure the player’s representatives, led by Claudio Paul Caniggia, see as excessive. While they accept an increase, they believe the proposed amount is too high. Negotiations are ongoing with the intention of finding a middle ground that satisfies both parties.

Despite the differences regarding the clause amount, there is optimism at River that the agreement will be resolved positively in the coming weeks. Both sides are fully willing, and the dialogue has never been broken. The ultimate goal is to secure Subiabre and continue developing one of the club’s brightest talents, who so far has not been able to fully showcase his talent in the First Division.

The attacker, born in 2007, made his debut for River on January 31, 2024, in the match against Barracas Central for the Copa de la Liga. So far, he has played a total of 19 matches and scored one goal, which came this March against Rosario Central. Although he went through a period without playing time, Marcelo Gallardo gave him another chance in the tense second-leg match against Libertad in the Copa Libertadores round of 16.
