River bought 50% of Tobías Ramírez, option on another 30% | OneFootball

Although it was initially reported as an 80% purchase, Argentinos Juniors confirmed that it only sold half of the player’s rights. The rest is subject to an option that has not yet been exercised.

It all started because El Bicho said goodbye to the center back on its social media and specified that it had parted with only 50 percent of the player’s registration rights, when the information that had been circulating—and had even been acknowledged by president Cristian Malaspina—indicated otherwise.

In statements to Radio La Red, the executive from the La Paternal club had specified that River would acquire 80%, and the figure reported at the time was 3.5 million dollars. Now the story has changed.

Although from the beginning there were differences regarding the transfer fee (River maintained it was in exchange for 3.5 million US dollars, while Argentinos spoke of 5 million), what had never been in question was the percentage.

In the tweet Argentinos posted this Sunday to say goodbye to the youngster developed at the club, it emphasized that they sold only half of the player’s rights, although the amount of the transfer was not detailed. So, what happened? TyC Sports was able to find out that the payment was 2.2 million dollars, but the negotiation does not end there.

This outlet also confirmed that River also has an option to buy an additional 30% within a certain period of time, which was not confirmed, in exchange for 1.3 million dollars, which would bring the total to the figure that had been reported at the time.
