Contrary to rumors of a possible non-renewal, the management and the player's environment show good predisposition to extend the link. Although the current contract of the youth player is until December 2026, the conversations continue without rush.
River moves forward with optimism to shield Ian Subiabre, one of its main promises. Despite the rumors that circulated in recent days about a possible non-renewal, tranquility reigns in the corridors of the Monumental. The management and the player's environment have a common vision and maintain a fluid dialogue that, at least for now, keeps any kind of conflict at bay.
The forward, who emerged from the Commission of Children's Activities in Comodoro Rivadavia, arrived in Núñez in 2022 and quickly stood out in the formative divisions. His talent led the club to buy 70% of his pass and sign a professional contract until the end of 2025. A year later, in 2024, that link was extended until December 2026.
Now, the leadership seeks to ensure Subiabre's long-term continuity, aware of the projection the young player has. The main idea is to renew his contract until 2028 and adjust the numbers of the agreement to his present and potential future.
Although the parties have already reached an understanding on the extension of the link and on the salary improvement for the player, the main point of discussion is the termination clause. Currently, Subiabre's exit value is 30 million dollars, a figure that River considers insufficient given his quality and the explosion expected from him in the First Division.
The Núñez club proposed to raise this clause to 100 million dollars, a figure that the player's representation, led by Claudio Paul Caniggia, sees as excessive. Although they accept an increase, they believe the proposed amount is too high. Negotiations continue with the intention of finding a middle ground that satisfies both parties.
Despite differences in the value of the clause, there is optimism in River that the agreement will be resolved positively in the coming weeks. The predisposition is total and the dialogue has not been cut off at any time. The final goal is to shield Subiabre and continue developing one of the great jewels the club has, who so far in the First Division has not been able to demonstrate his great talent.
The attacker born in 2007 made his debut with the River shirt on January 31, 2024 in the match against Barracas Central for the League Cup. So far, he has played a total of 19 matches and scored a goal, which was in March of this year against Rosario Central. Although he had a period without adding minutes, Marcelo Gallardo gave him another chance in the tense match against Libertad for the round of 16 return of the Copa Libertadores.
