The possible return of Germán Pezzella to River looks set to be one of the highest-grossing novels in the transfer market. While the defender of the Argentine National Team prepares to participate in the Copa América, In the Millonario they aim to repatriate him and obtain a reinforcement of hierarchy to face the remainder of the Copa Libertadores. However, his return is not as simple as it initially seemed.
Germán Pezzella renewed his contract with Real Betis a few months ago, with one condition: reduce the termination clause, from 40 million to 4 million euros. It seemed like a wink for River, who has been talking to the footballer for several months. And beyond the fact that the footballer agreed to the idea of returning to the country to wear the red sash again, from the numbers the parties are still far away.
How are the negotiations for the arrival of Germán Pezzella to River?
For several weeks now, the cards have been on the table. River has so far made only one formal offer for Germán Pezzella. At Betis they considered this proposal unsatisfactory., since it is still far from the value of the defender’s exit clause. There was no further progress in the club-to-club negotiations.
On River’s side, not only does it intend to pay a figure lower than the exit clause, but it also offered Germán Pezella a contract with a lower salary than the one he receives at the Spanish club.. And although the defender is willing to make some effort to return to the club he loves, what he does not want is to leave Real Betis badly.

Germán Pezzella will not exert any type of pressure to leave Betis. He also has no intention of executing the termination clause for the affection they have for him in the Spanish club. That’s why, River must enter into a negotiation from club to club, in which they should agree on a figure higher than the clause. A situation that could complicate his return more than necessary.
Does Germán Pezzella’s pass to River fall?
In the last hours, some journalistic versions appeared indicating that the negotiations for Germán Pezzella were down. and that the player had made the decision to return in early or mid-2025. It should be remembered that he still has one year on his contract with Betis.
As La Página Millonaria was able to find out, the efforts by the defender of the Argentine National Team are still standing and have not fallen, but in recent days there has been no significant progress. There are still twenty days left until the start of the preseason and River trusts that his return can be resolved in the nearest future.
