River, take note: Lautaro Rivero is on Roma's radar | OneFootball

Various Italian media outlets reported that the Rome-based club sent two emissaries to track the Argentine defender and would be considering an offer of between 15 and 20 million euros in the next transfer window. So far, no proposal has reached Núñez.

While River faces the decisive moments of this first half of 2026, several teams in Europe are about to finish their seasons and have started looking for reinforcements from the other side of the ocean. According to Italian media reports, Roma is strongly interested in signing Lautaro Rivero and sent two emissaries to follow the Millonario center back.

For the past few months, there has been talk that the capital club could consider offers to part ways with one of the defenders in its squad: the two candidates to leave are Ivorian Evan N’Dicka and young Polish player Jan Ziolkowski. Against that backdrop, the River player has emerged as an option for the upcoming transfer window.

Various European outlets claim the interest is so concrete that, in addition to sending two scouts to monitor him in the upcoming matches, they are considering the possibility of making an offer ranging from 15 to 20 million euros. In any case, there have still been no formal contacts, and Roma still has time to evaluate alternatives.

At 22, Rivero is going through his first season as a starter for River. Though inconsistent in form, he made his debut for the Argentina national team this year (he played in the 6-0 friendly against Puerto Rico) and remains one of the pillars of Eduardo Coudet’s team. Under contract until December 2029, his release clause is 100 million dollars, although, of course, it mainly serves as protection.

From the offices at the Monumental, they insist that no proposal has yet arrived for any member of the current squad, but ever since his contract renewal, they knew Rivero would be one of the players hardest to keep midway through the year. In fact, the surprise arrival of Tobías Ramírez in the middle of the season could be related to the possibility of a sale of the 22-year-old left-footer.
