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

River’s management stepped on the gas for a player who was an exclusive request from Coudet.

Before the first hour had even 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 addition they already had 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 time 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 for 3.5 million euros for 50 percent of his transfer rights.

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

El Millonario will now wait for Getafe, which days ago made it known that it wanted to receive 6 million euros for half of the player’s rights that it owns. The player owns 20 percent of his transfer rights, and that portion also appears to have already been 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 both at the 2015 South American U-20 Championship and the U-20 World Cup that same year. 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 totaled 23 goals in 329 official matches. The noteworthy detail is that 22 of those goals have come since his arrival at Getafe, where he has played 265 official matches.
