River shielded the kid Ruberto with a million-dollar clause and surprised by firing a historic man

Agustín Ruberto He turns 18 this Saturday, Three Kings Day, and, like the good kid he is, he will have several gifts. The thing is that she will not only carry out the preseason under the orders of Martin Demichelis and will travel this Sunday morning to Miami along with the rest of the professional team of River Platebut will also sign a contract that will bind him to the club until December 2027 with a termination clause that amounts to 30 million euros tax-free.

This is an important improvement, given that his current relationship, which expired at the end of the year, had its exit priced at 25 million of the community currency. Thus, the club that wants to take the boy who a few months ago was the top scorer at the Under 17 World Cup in Indonesia will have to pay the same as it would pay for Facundo Colidio, who until now was the most expensive on the squad. Now there are two…

This is a strong bet by the River leadership that does not want the history of Claudio Echeverri to be repeated. It is true that the sale of Diablito It ended up being an important business for the institution. However, the primitive idea before the offer of Manchester City logically shake the foundations of the kid and his environment was to raise that exit clause to try to maximize the investment made from the moment they brought him from Chaco.

Ruberto is a born center forward. He is 1.85 meters tall and was Echeverri’s great complement throughout the Millonario quarry. One the creative and the other the finisher. Power, sense of smell, good location and quickness to finish are some of the characteristics that he has and that he showed to the planet during the adventure in Indonesia under the command of Diego Placente: He scored eight goals and was only three away from Javier Saviola’s recordanother phenomenon built in the youth ranks of River, who scored 11 in the 2001 World Cup in Argentina.

It is expected that Ruberto, who was only called up on a couple of occasions to play with Primera although in the end he did not even sit on the bench, will have more chances in 2024. After the departure of the Venezuelan Salomon Rondonthe boy will start the year with two forwards above him: the Colombian Miguel Angel Borja and his own Collide. Therefore, it is expected to add minutes. Especially since the attempts to repatriate the Lucas Alario and also the Colombian Rafael Santos Borré nor the lukewarm inquiries to add to Mateo Retegui.

At this time it sounds Jose Lopezbut Palm trees He’s not too willing to let go of the ex. Lanus. If it does not happen, a chance would open up for the Venezuelan Josef Martinezformer partner of Lionel Messi in Inter Miamiwho was offered by his representatives.

In addition to Ruberto, River will renew the contract of two other youth players. Are Ian Subiabre y Ulises Gimenez. The two also played in the U17 World Cup. The first, a sharp forward, with more dribbling, will also go to Miami along with Lucas Lavagnini, Santiago Beltran, Daniel Zavala, Franco Mastrantuono and Echeverri himself.

Although negotiations seemed on track for Matías Suárez to continue for another year, River announced this Friday that the Córdoba striker, in the end, will not continue at the club.

“River Plate and Matías Suárez agreed that the player will not renew his contract with the Club, thus ending his successful five-year period wearing the Sacred Mantle. Thank you and success in the future, Mati!”, Núñez’s club published in his social networks to end the era of the 35-year-old footballer, who had been struggling with his knees for a long time.

Suárez, born in La Falda, leaves after 133 games with the Band, in which he scored 40 goals and provided 30 assists. He was, when he was healthy, a factor of constant imbalance in the team led by Marcelo Gallardo.

After a long experience at Anderlecht in Belgium, Suárez returned to Belgrano de Córdoba, his club of origin, but was quickly tempted by River, where he spent five years and made seven Olympic appearances.
