Andino, Carrizo reject bids, River raise offer for Prestianni | OneFootball

River was forced to reshuffle and start over in its search for offensive reinforcements in the current transfer window, due to the rejections from Santino Andino, who has already agreed to join Panathinaikos of Greece; and Maher Carrizo, who also preferred to wait for offers from Europe.

The Millonario had no choice but to activate new options after wasting a lot of time negotiating with two players who ultimately will not join the club, and reactivated contacts with Benfica to try to reestablish negotiations for Gianluca Prestianni, willing to modify the conditions that had previously led to a firm rejection from the Portuguese club.

River's new plan would be to make an offer close to six million dollars to acquire 50 percent of the player’s rights. Unlike what happened with Andino and Carrizo, Prestianni is indeed willing to push for the deal to go through. In addition, River would commit to buying the remaining percentage at a future date.

Although they will have to wait for Benfica to respond to the new proposal—which is much closer to their desire to recover the 9 million euros invested in his transfer from Vélez—those close to the player are confident that the story could have a positive outcome.

Among the reasons the player wants the move to River to happen is the understanding that he needs much more playing time than he currently has at Benfica in order to be in a position to fight for a spot on the Argentina National Team roster for the 2026 World Cup.
