São Paulo eye Galoppo swap for Enzo Díaz and Tapia with River Plate | OneFootball

São Paulo and River Plate are expected to sit down in the coming days to discuss negotiations for the permanent transfer of Galoppo to the Argentinians, as well as Enzo Díaz and Gonzalo Tapia.

This, at least, is the desire of the Morumbi club, according to information gathered by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR from sources within São Paulo’s football management.

The objective of Tricolor is to expedite financial negotiations to secure the permanent signing of Enzo Díaz. The full-back, on loan from River until the end of the year, has already met the clauses required for his mandatory purchase.

The problem for São Paulo is the lack of money. Facing financial difficulties, the team cannot pay upfront the US$2 million (about R$10.5 million) needed to acquire 60% of the rights to the full-back, who is the season’s assist leader alongside Luciano.

Given this, the plan is to use Galoppo as a bargaining chip in the negotiation. Tapia, who is on loan from the Argentinians until June next year, is also expected to be included in the deal. The Chilean has a fixed purchase clause of 2 million euros (approximately R$12.8 million).

Galoppo is on loan from São Paulo to River until the end of the year. The player has not yet reached the proportional target that would require the Argentinians to purchase 40% of his rights outright for US$3.6 million (about R$18.9 million). However, his personal plan is not to return to Morumbi.

“I believe everything is ready for him to stay. River wants him anyway, it doesn’t depend on targets,” said the player’s father, Marcelino Galoppo, to the portal ‘Globo Esporte‘.

São Paulo is not aware of any agreement already in place between Galoppo and River. On the other hand, the Morumbi club has a verbal financial agreement for the stays of Enzo and Tapia. Both have already expressed internally their desire to remain with the team and have the approval of coach Hernán Crespo.
