River shifted into high gear in the transfer market and is now very close to finalizing the arrival of Maher Carrizo, one of the biggest prospects in Argentine football. With negotiations for Santino Andino at a standstill, the Millonario renewed their pursuit of the Vélez striker and an agreement is imminent. According to Juan Patricio Balbi, there was direct contact between Stéfano Di Carlo and Fabián Berlanga, and the deal has made significant progress. Gallardo wants him no matter what, and River is looking to secure 50% of his rights for a figure close to 6 million dollars, taking advantage of Fortín’s delicate financial situation.

Carrizo, 19 years old and a standout for Argentina’s U20 National Team, has already given the green light to leave Vélez, where he had a promise of being sold. The Liniers club, which previously would only accept the 16 million release clause, has softened its stance and opened the door to a partnership. If there are no unforeseen issues, the plan is to finalize the transfer in the coming hours so the striker can join the preseason in Uruguay, where River will play friendlies against Millonarios and Peñarol. The Millonario is moving fast, and Carrizo is getting closer and closer.
