River secure first option to sign two Olimpia starlets | OneFootball

River secured the purchase priority for Alan Ledesma and Pedro Zarza, two of the greatest gems from Olimpia, as part of the deal for Franco Alfonso, who, after a loan at Central Córdoba (SdE), will move to Paraguayan football.

Since the Decano acquired 50% of the former Huracán player's rights, the Millonario reached an agreement and positioned itself well to acquire two of the greatest promises in the Guaraní squad.

Alan Ledesma is 17 years old, a central midfielder, and has been the captain of the Paraguay U-15 and U-17 national teams. Additionally, he has already had first-division experience with four appearances for the Decano's main team despite his young age.

As for Zarza, he is an 18-year-old winger who already knows what it's like to play at the Monumental and make a great impression on the field. He participated in a friendly match in 2024 where he showcased his great speed, creating the play and sending the cross that Ramiro Funes Mori connected to score Olimpia's consolation goal in a 3-1 defeat in July of that year.

Currently, Zarza is on loan until the middle of this year at Sportivo Trinidense, a club where he has played 19 matches after making seven appearances with Olimpia. A promising player who amazed with his dribbling and speed, despite not yet scoring or assisting.
