Major progress in River’s talks for Nelson Deossa | OneFootball

The Millionaire completed the signing of Mauro Arambarri and now wants to finalize the Colombian midfielder who plays in LaLiga.

After a difficult first half of the year in terms of play, with a squad that did not live up to expectations, major changes were expected at River heading into the second half of the season. Stefano Di Carlo was blunt and announced that around 15 players would leave and between 5 and 7 would arrive. Nicolás Otamendi was the first to be confirmed, Mauro Arambarri the second, and now the Millionaire is going after another midfielder: Nelson Deossa.

Deossa’s name has been circulating around the River world for a few days now, but it was only this Monday that formal talks began both with the player and with the club that owns his rights: Real Betis Balompié. After a difficult spell with the Andalusian side for reasons unrelated to football, River have already started negotiations in Núñez to fulfill Coudet’s wish.

Deossa made a great impression at the Club World Cup when he faced River with Rayados. The Colombian midfielder was crucial to his team’s performance and was the standout player in the match that ended in a draw. It is worth remembering that the Mexicans advanced to the round of 16, while Gallardo’s side were eliminated in the group stage.

What can Deossa bring to River?

The 26-year-old midfielder can fill several roles in midfield. He can partner Aníbal Moreno in a double pivot, play a few meters further forward, and even operate out wide. Coudet wants a dynamic midfield, with versatile players and a lot of movement, and Deossa fits that style.
