River push for Prestianni as Benfica refuse, Millonario up the ante | OneFootball

The first response was negative, but in Núñez they are not considering the matter closed. Benfica rejected River’s initial offer for Gianluca Prestianni, but left the door open for further negotiations—a sign that the Millonario intends to take full advantage of during this transfer window.

With that goal in mind, the club’s management will send an emissary to Portugal to narrow the gap and present an improved proposal. The idea is to increase both the loan amount and the purchase option, which in the first offer included a loan for 800,000 dollars and a clause of four million for 50% of the player’s rights.

At River, they know it won’t be an easy deal, but it’s not impossible either. The pressure from Prestianni himself, who has already expressed his desire to leave and would look favorably on returning to Argentine football to wear the Millonario jersey, appears as a positive factor in the negotiation.

At 19 years old, the former Vélez player has not yet managed to establish himself at Benfica: he played 16 matches this semester, with two goals and two assists, but started in only two games. Without consistent playing time in Europe, River emerges as a key option to relaunch his career.
