River set to bid for Santiago Ascacibar, offer for Estudiantes | OneFootball

River remains active in the transfer market and, with Fausto Vera on track, is preparing an offer for Santiago Ascacibar. The "Ruso," who is focused on the final of the Clausura Tournament with Estudiantes, is Marcelo Gallardo's next target to strengthen the midfield.

The "Millonario" will send an offer this Thursday to buy part of the percentage of the "Ruso." In Núñez, they know that negotiations won't be easy, considering that it involves a direct rival on the local stage. Moreover, if the "Pincha" wins, they will secure a ticket to the 2026 Libertadores.

For the next season, Estudiantes will listen to offers for several of their starters, especially if they don't have international competition. The big headache for the "Millonario" will be if a competitor from abroad emerges for Ascacibar.

River's proposal aligns with the policy they are implementing in this transfer market: buying percentages of players or incorporating them on loan with a purchase option. A decision that will allow them not to disburse as large sums of money as in the past.

The player's desire, key

Beyond River's proposal and his immediate goal of winning with the "Pincha," Santiago Ascacibar dreams of returning to European football. If he leaves, the player's priority is to head back to the Old Continent to have a second chance after his previous stint.
