Another River player rejects new deal, out vs Atlético Tucumán | OneFootball

While River is trying to resolve the contractual situation of Ian Subiabre, a conflict that escalated to his disconnection from the list of players called up for the U20 World Cup with the Argentine National Team, this Friday the millionaire team suffered a new setback with another of its youth players.

Cristian Leonel Jaime, an offensive midfielder born in 2006, who is part of River's reserve team, refused to sign his first professional contract before the match against Atlético Tucumán for the Clausura Tournament.

The young player was going to be part of the list of players called up due to Marcelo Gallardo's decision to save key pieces to face Palmeiras in Sao Paulo next Wednesday, but at the last minute it was decided to sideline him for rejecting the contract proposal.

Jaime, 19 years old, had been offered a contract valid until the end of 2029, but his response was negative. It should be noted that River began to talk with the player and his environment at the beginning of this year, but the negotiations were put on hold to prioritize those of youth players with more experience in the first team, such as Bautista Dadín, Santiago Lencina and Lautaro Rivero.

At that time, the Millionaire maintained a link with his representative to agree on the details of the renewal. This was Sebastián López. After the FIFA date in September, everything was set for the talks to resume, but the young player changed agents and, under the representation of Augusto Paraja, they chose to reject the previous conditions for his signature.

As a result, in retaliation, River dropped him from the list of players called up and he will not be present in the match against Atlético Tucumán this Saturday at 21:15 at the Monumental.

Ian Subiabre also left out of the call-ups

Because he also refused to sign his new contract with River, the club had already made the decision not to loan him to the U20 World Cup if he did not renew his contract. The AFA approved this stance of the Millionaire and understood the issue, so it is not ruled out that another player will be sought in his position if he finally does not renew.

In line with this firm stance, River also decided to leave him out of the list of players called up for the match against Atlético Tucumán, just like Leonel Jaime.
