River has already five reinforcements so far in the 2024 transfer market, but from day one the main player targeted for signing was Germán Pezzella. The efforts to repatriate the defender have been underway for some time now, but as the days go by the chances seem to be fading away. And the 33-year-old defender referred to the possibility of returning.
Yes ok Pezzella He had not yet publicly expressed himself on the status of the negotiations and the chances of his return, the question fell on him head on and he had no choice but to give an answer. It was at the press conference prior to this Saturday’s match between the Argentina National Team and Peru, for the 2024 Copa América. And His phrase was forceful.
What Germán Pezzella said about his return to River
“It’s not the time to talk about that, I’m focused on giving my best and contributing wherever I can here (in the National Team) and there will be time for the rest”Pezzella, who will start against Peru, answered seriously and bluntly. In this way, and as expected, the situation will not be resolved either by yes or by no before the end of the tournament.
However, and despite the fact that in the first days of the transfer market everyone in the River world was very optimistic that the transfer would be completed, the current signs are not entirely positive. And although the Bahian has no shortage of intentions to wear the Sacred Mantle, The differences that hinder the operation are economic. And they seem difficult to save…
The departure of Betis and the contract, the issues to be resolved by River
Pezzella He is very loved at the Spanish club, which agreed to reduce his termination clause at 4 million euros. If Núñez executes this clause, all that remains is to agree on the contract, but at Millonario they intend to negotiate a lower amount, and the central defender does not want to force his departure so as not to break the good relationship he has with the directors and the fans.
And in second place, River He also has not yet decided what to do because before arranging his disassociation from Betis, wants to fix the contract. But there is no agreement there either: the former Fiorentina lowered his expectations a lot, but in the same way The numbers offered by the Greatest, which has established a limit for its squad, are far away of those that the world champion in Qatar 2022 aims for.
