🚨 River bid for Román Vega falls short for Argentinos Jrs | OneFootball

With the transfer of Franco Mastantuono to Real Madrid practically confirmed —although he would leave after the Club World Cup—, River Plate will go to the market in search of substitutes for the 17-year-old jewel, who had established himself as a starter and key piece in Marcelo Gallardo's team.

But the Millionaire is also betting on reinforcing other key positions, and the payment of the millionaire clause for Mastantuono's departure will give the Núñez club room for maneuver.

Thus, a few minutes ago it was revealed that River made a concrete offer to Argentinos Juniors for the pass of left-back Román Vega.

Insufficient offer

According to information from César Luis Merlo, the figure of around six million dollars that River proposed for 80% of Vega's card was insufficient for the leadership of the Bicho de la Paternal.

As is usual in these cases, it is expected that both clubs will initiate negotiations to find an agreement that serves all parties.

Román Vega, 21-year-old left-back, was trained in the youth teams of Argentinos Juniors, the world's nursery, but had an early European experience when he was loaned out in 2022 to play for Barça Atlètic, the FC Barcelona reserve team that competes in the Spanish third tier.

Vega made his debut in the 2021 League Cup with the Argentinos Jrs. first team, at just 17 years old, and already has 63 appearances with that shirt, with one goal and three assists.
