River push for Prestianni, Benfica refuse but Millonario up the ante | OneFootball

The first response was negative, but in Núñez, they are not closing the matter. Benfica rejected River's initial offer for Gianluca Prestianni, although they left the door open for further negotiations, a sign that the Millionaires plan to take full advantage of in this market.

With that goal in mind, the management will send an emissary to Portugal to bridge the gap and present an improved proposal. The idea is to increase both the loan amount and the purchase option, which in the first offer included a loan of 800 thousand dollars and a clause of four million for 50% of the transfer.

At River, they know it won't be an easy operation, but it's not impossible either. The pressure from Prestianni himself, who has already expressed his desire to leave and would look favorably on returning to Argentine football to wear the Millionaires' jersey, appears as a favorable factor in the negotiation.

At 19 years old, the former Vélez player has not yet managed to establish himself at Benfica: he played 16 matches in the semester, with two goals and two assists, but was a starter only twice. Without continuity in Europe, River emerges as a key option to relaunch his career.
