Chelsea have joined Tottenham Hotspur and Atlético Madrid in the chase for River Plate’s Lautaro Rivero.
The centre-back has been impressing for River Plate in recent months, which hasn’t gone unnoticed. He made his debut for Argentina in October and also attracted interest from European clubs.
On November 2nd, we covered claims from Argentina explaining that Tottenham’s desire to sign Rivero worries Atlético.
Chelsea have now been added to the list of suitors and River Noticias cover the latest on the Blues.
It’s claimed the Club World Cup winners have the 22-year-old on their transfer radar and are monitoring him closely.
For now, Enzo Maresca’s side are only keeping an eye on the player desire by Tottenham. It’s unclear whether Chelsea will make advances or willing to negotiate with River Plate in the winter market.
Rivero has a contract until December 2028, and it includes a €100m release clause. The Argentine club, as per the report, have no intention of letting him leave.
Despite River Plate’s intention, the defender could leave in January. River Noticias make no mention of Tottenham, Atlético or any other club apart from Chelsea in their report.
