River step up Romaña bid, new offer nears San Lorenzo deal | OneFootball

While the River team progresses with the most demanding part of the preseason in San Martín de los Andes, the management is speeding up in the transfer market to meet Marcelo Gallardo's requests. The main target remains Jhohan Romaña, and in recent hours the Millonario has made a new offer that could unlock the negotiation.

River proposed to buy 50% of the Colombian defender's transfer for 2.6 million dollars, with a formal commitment to acquire the other half for three million within a maximum period of one year. Additionally, the offer includes a penalty clause: if they fail to complete the total purchase, the Núñez club must pay a one million dollar fine.

San Lorenzo has not yet accepted the proposal, as their initial intention is to sell a larger percentage of the transfer, but the numbers are starting to approach what the Ciclón wants. In total, River would end up paying 5.6 million dollars for 100% of the card, a figure close to the azulgrana valuation.

At this time, there is optimism on both sides, and it is not ruled out that the agreement could be finalized soon, which would allow Gallardo to add a key reinforcement for the defense.
