São Paulo seek River Plate talks to swap Galoppo for Enzo Díaz and Tapia | OneFootball

São Paulo and River Plate are expected to sit down in the coming days to discuss negotiations for the permanent transfer of Galoppo to the Argentinians, as well as Enzo Díaz and Gonzalo Tapia.

This, at least, is the wish of the Morumbi club, according to information gathered by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR from sources within São Paulo’s football management.

The objective of Tricolor is to expedite financial negotiations to secure the permanent signing of Enzo Díaz. The full-back, on loan from River until the end of the year, has already met the clauses required for his mandatory purchase.

The problem for São Paulo is a lack of funds. Facing financial difficulties, the team is unable to pay the US$2 million (about R$10.5 million) upfront to acquire 60% of the rights to the full-back, who is the season’s assist leader alongside Luciano.

Given this, the plan is to use Galoppo as a bargaining chip in the negotiations. Tapia, who is on loan from the Argentinians until June next year, would also be included in the deal. The Chilean has a fixed purchase clause of 2 million euros (approximately R$12.8 million).

Galoppo is on loan from São Paulo to River until the end of the year. The player has not yet reached the proportional target that would obligate the Argentinians to buy 40% of his rights for US$3.6 million (about R$18.9 million). However, his personal plan is not to return to Morumbi.

“I believe everything is ready for him to stay. River wants him anyway, it doesn’t depend on a target,” said the player’s father, Marcelino Galoppo, to the portal ‘Globo Esporte‘.

São Paulo has no information that Galoppo and River already have any kind of agreement. But on the other hand, the Morumbi club has a verbal financial agreement in place for the retention of Enzo and Tapia. Both have already expressed internally their desire to remain with the team and have the approval of coach Hernán Crespo.
