Watch out, Rui Costa! River Plate still chasing in-form Benfica star | OneFootball

River Plate continues to insist on signing Gianluca Prestianni. According to reports, the Buenos Aires club has already made initial contacts with Benfica to gather information about the number 25. Additionally, the albiceleste team believes that the footballer might be interested in the move.

The information was reported by TNT Sports on Tuesday, December 2, with the television channel indicating that River Plate has already initiated contacts to explore a possible deal. Furthermore, the same source suggests that the Argentine club might have a certain advantage in convincing the young footballer to return to his home country.

Despite his impact in the match against Nacional, where he led Benfica to victory, Prestianni seeks to establish himself with the eagle on his chest. However, the lack of playing time the number 25 has had in recent matches might motivate him to view a potential offer from River Plate favorably.

At the same time, Gianluca Prestianni, after his performances in the U-20 World Cup, where the national team reached the final, is seen as one of the greatest Argentine talents of his generation. Moreover, the Buenos Aires club believes that Prestianni will not refuse the opportunity to play for one of Argentina's biggest clubs, alongside Boca Juniors.

Gianluca Prestianni — currently valued at 8 million euros — is looking to establish himself in Benfica's squad. In the current season, the number 25 has already played 15 official matches with the Sacred Mantle. In the 431 minutes he has been on the pitch, he recorded two goals and one assist.
