River target Facundo Mura, set to leave Racing and was close to Inter Miami | OneFootball

River started a very busy transfer market and doesn't stop because this Sunday TyC Sports confirmed that they have opened negotiations to sign defender Facundo Mura, who will be free from Racing at the end of the year and was close to joining Inter Miami.

The Millonario contacted the player directly on Saturday, who was trained at Estudiantes, and he asked for 72 hours to decide whether to accept the offer from the Núñez team or finally move to the MLS in the United States to be Lionel Messi's teammate.

Although Marcelo Gallardo's team has Gonzalo Montiel as the undisputed starter on the right side, it is true that Fabricio Bustos might leave, as he started the year well when he had to replace Cachete, but ended the season at a low level.

Beyond that, it is true that the 26-year-old defender can also play on the left side, a position where the Millonario is looking for reinforcement and which Mura has occasionally occupied.

In 2021, when Alex Vigo arrived at River, Mura had already been sought by coach Marcelo Gallardo, but the player eventually ended up on loan at Colón de Santa Fe.

Throughout 2025, Mura was a substitute for Gastón Martirena in most of the matches, both in the local tournament and the Copa Libertadores. With the Uruguayan, Mura fought for that position during much of his time at Racing.

In total, the defender won four titles with the Academia: the International Super Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2022, the Sudamericana 2024, and the Recopa 2025. Additionally, he won the Copa de la Liga 2021 with Colón. At Racing, he accumulated 148 matches and 12 goals, a fairly high number for his position. Will he join River, which also made progress for Jhohan Romaña?
