After sealing Otamendi, River made formal offer for Arambarri | OneFootball

The Millonario board stepped on the gas for a player who was an exclusive request from Coudet.

Before even an hour had passed since the official confirmation of Nicolás Otamendi signing his contract to join the club through December 2027, River stepped on the gas for another signing that was already well advanced and sent a formal offer to Getafe to sign Uruguayan midfielder Mauro Arambarri.

The 30-year-old footballer had been a request from Eduardo Coudet, who knows him well from their experiences in Spain’s LaLiga, and although it was believed that El Millonario would seek a loan with an option to buy, Bolavip was able to learn that the offer was 3.5 million euros for 50 percent of his transfer rights.

On the player’s side, having come through Defensor Sporting and also worn French club Bordeaux’s shirt in European football, an agreement has already been reached on the contract terms, with a three-and-a-half-year deal.

El Millonario will now wait for Getafe, which had let it be known days ago that it wanted to receive 6 million euros for the half of the player’s registration rights it owns. The player owns 20 percent of his rights and that portion also appears to be already agreed upon, while the remaining 30 percent belongs to Boston River, where he never played, through an investment group.

Arambarri represented the Uruguay National Team at both the 2015 South American U-20 Championship and that same year’s U-20 World Cup. He made his senior debut in 2020, although he has never been able to establish himself in Marcelo Bielsa’s plans, the coach who will lead La Celeste at the next World Cup.

Mauro Arambarri’s numbers

As a professional footballer, Mauro Arambarri has scored 23 goals across 329 official matches. The notable detail is that 22 of those goals have come since his arrival at Getafe, where he has played 265 official matches.
