River protected the boy Ruberto with a one million clause and surprised by sacking a historic man

Agostino Ruberto He turns 18 this Saturday, Three Kings Day, and, like the good boy he is, he will receive numerous gifts. It’s that he 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 River Platebut he will also sign a contract that will tie him to the club until December 2027 with a release clause amounting to 30 million euros tax-free.

This is a major improvement, given that its current relationship, which expired at the end of the year, was valued at 25 million community currency. Thus, the club that wants to take the boy who was the top scorer in the Under 17 World Cup in Indonesia a few months ago will have to pay what Facundo Colidio would pay, who until now was the most expensive in the league. squad. Now there are two…

This is a strong bet on the part of the River management who does not want the story of Claudio Echeverri to be repeated. It is true that the sale of little devil It ultimately turned out to be a major deal for the institution. However, the primitive idea before the offer of Manchester City logically shaking the foundations of the boy 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 the great complement to Echeverri throughout the Millonario quarry. One the creative and the other the finisher. Power, sense of smell, good positioning and speed in finishing are some of the characteristics that he possesses and that he showed to the planet during the adventure in Indonesia under the command of Diego Placente: He scored eight goals and was just three goals away from Javier Saviola’s recordanother phenomenon built in River’s youth team, scorer of 11 goals at the 2001 World Cup in Argentina.

It is expected that Ruberto, called up only a couple of times in the Primera even if in the end he did not even sit on the bench, will have more opportunities in 2024. After the departure of the Venezuelan Solomon Rondonthe boy will start the year with two attackers above him: the Colombian Miguel Angel Borja and its collide. The addition of minutes is therefore expected. Especially after the repatriation attempts Luca Alario and also the Colombian Rafael Santos Borré nor the tepid questions to add Mateo Retegui.

Right now it seems like Jose LopezBut Palmeiras He is not very willing to let go of the ex. Lanus. If this does not happen, a possibility would open up for the Venezuelan Josef Martinezformer partner of Lionel Messi In InterMiamiwhich was offered by its representatives.

In addition to Ruberto, River will renew the contracts of two other youth players. I am Ian Subiabre AND Ulises Gimenez. The two also played in the Under 17 World Cup. The former, a strong attacker with more dribbling, will also go to Miami together with Luca Lavagnini, Santiago Beltran, Daniele Zavala, Franco Mastrantuono and Echeverri himself.

Goodbye to Matías Suarez

Although negotiations seemed on track to keep Matías Suárez for another year, River announced on Friday that the Córdoba striker will ultimately not stay at the club.

“River Plate and Matías Suárez have agreed that the player will not renew his contract with the Club, thus putting an end to his five-year period of success wearing the Sacred Mantle. Thank you and success for the future, Mati!”, published the club Núñez on his social networks to close the era of the 35-year-old footballer, who has been struggling with his knees for some 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 constant factor of imbalance in the team led by Marcelo Gallardo.

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