Franco Armani will at some point stop being River’s goalkeeper and that is why the leadership wants to manage the arrival of his replacement. It will not be an immediate change of command under the three suits, but the idea is that the transition is gradual and that is why this transfer market is ideal to reinforce with a goalkeeper.
After some names were mentioned without much support, The main target is Jeremías Ledesma, former goalkeeper for Rosario Central and currently at Cádiz in Spain. Recently relegated to the second division, Millonario has decided to make all-out efforts for Ledesma so that he can join the squad during the break.
How much is Jeremías Ledesma worth and what is River looking to do?
Ledesma has an exit clause of 5 million euros which River does not plan to execute at the moment, although the plan is to negotiate around a close amount. The goalkeeper is very seduced by the possibility of playing in the Copa Libertadores and the 2025 Club World Cup, much more than staying in Spain’s promotion.
“If a club comes with 3 million, Conan will not be sold, his clause is 5 million“, declared Manuel Vizcaíno, president of Cádiz, a few days ago. The Millionaire’s strategy is to present a first offer that is close to the value of the clause but with a slightly more flexible payment method.
From Nuñez there is optimism in which the talks with the player and with the Spanish club will progress on good terms in the coming days. Given this panorama, it is almost a fact that Ezequiel Centurión will leave the club on loan in search of minutes: Belgrano, Lanús and Atlético Tucumán set their eyes on him.
