River Plate consider move for Flamengo's Rossi | OneFootball

Argentine club is backing young Santiago Beltrán in goal, but sees Flamengo’s goalkeeper as a future option

The transfer window is closed, but teams are still keeping an eye on potential future signings. In that regard, River Plate (ARG) is monitoring the situation of Rossi, Flamengo’s goalkeeper.

According to information reported by ‘ESPN’, the Argentine club is relying on young Santiago Beltrán among the starters. Therefore, River Plate is in no rush to sign a new goalkeeper. However, Rossi is seen as a good option for the position, and the club does not rule out making an official bid for the Argentine in the future.

WHO IS RIVER PLATE’S CURRENT STARTING GOALKEEPER?

Even at just 21 years old, Santiago Beltrán earned his place at River Plate over the course of the season, eventually becoming the team’s starting goalkeeper. As a result, the board is placing its trust in the keeper’s continued run in the team.

WHY HAS ROSSI CAUGHT RIVER PLATE’S ATTENTION?

Rossi is one of the leaders in Flamengo’s squad and the undisputed starter in his position. Even with some ups and downs over the seasons, the Argentine remains one of Leonardo Jardim’s first choices. In addition, the goalkeeper has won major titles with the Sacred Jersey.

On top of that, Rossi is very well known in Argentine football. That is because, before joining Flamengo, the goalkeeper was the starter for Boca Juniors (ARG), River Plate’s direct rival. In this way, the ‘hermanos’ know all of the player’s characteristics.

HOW IS FLAMENGO DOING THIS SEASON?

With Rossi available, Flamengo is enjoying a great run this season and leads the Brazilian Championship with 60 points, three more than Palmeiras. In addition, the team has qualified for the Libertadores semifinal, where it will face Estudiantes (ARG).

At the moment, the calendar is on pause because of the penultimate FIFA international break of 2026. As a result, coach Leonardo Jardim gets another period of training sessions to fine-tune and work with the squad ahead of the decisive matches to come.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo’s next match will take place on October 8 against Santos in the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Brasília time at Vila Belmiro. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Premiere will broadcast the clash via pay-per-view.
