River Plate push on, price set to snatch Prestianni from Benfica | OneFootball

River Plate continues to insist on signing Gianluca Prestianni and is said to have already made an offer. According to reports, the Buenos Aires club has submitted a bid of 5 million dollars — around 4.3 million euros — to the board of Benfica, led by Rui Costa.

As reported by the newspaper Record in today’s edition, December 13, the amount offered by the Argentinians corresponds to about 50% of the rights to the number 25 of the Eagles. However, according to TyC Sports, the source that disclosed the transfer figures, the club from Luz remains adamant about not letting go of the young footballer.

“The player wants to play for River the most, but Benfica is not convinced by the deal,” wrote the Argentine daily. River Plate believes the athlete will not oppose a potential move to Buenos Aires, as he feels he has not been getting as many minutes as he would like at the Glorious.

It is worth recalling that Prestianni — who will serve a suspension against Moreirense, after being sent off in the derby — arrived at Benfica in the 2023/24 winter transfer window from Vélez Sarsfield, with the Eagles’ management paying around 9 million euros, plus 2 million in add-ons, for 86% of his rights.

Gianluca Prestianni — currently valued at 8 million euros — still has an uncertain future at Estádio da Luz. In the current season, the 19-year-old Argentine has already played a total of 16 official matches, across domestic competitions and the Champions League. In the 440 minutes he has spent on the pitch, he has recorded two goals and one assist.
