Over the past few weeks, multiple claims have covered Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in River Plate’s Lautaro Rivero.
Last month, El Intransigente reported Spurs had sent a scout to Argentina to follow him live in action. He has a €100m clause and River Plate’s initial plan is to refer to his buyout clause.
The same outlet also stated an offer from Tottenham is expected to arrive at some point. On November 2nd, La Razón reported the north London club’s interest in the centre-back worries Atlético Madrid, who are also in the picture.
El Desmarque now provide the latest on Los Rojiblancos, Tottenham and Real Madrid. It’s claimed the La Liga duo are following the 22-year-old closely.
Los Blancos are the latest club to be added to the interested parties list. They are showing interest in the defender, due to Antonio Rüdiger’s possible exit when his contract expires in June.
The report claims Tottenham ‘dream’ of having a partnership between Rivero and Cristian Romero in the heart of their defence. Micky van de Ven and Romero are the first-choice pair currently for Thomas Frank.
Speaking to ElDesmarket, journalist Lucas Gatti says River Plate are open to negotiating Rivero’s sale if they receive a convincing offer.
“He’s already a starter at River Plate under Marcelo Gallardo,” he said.
“He has a contract until December 31, 2028, with a €100m clause, but that’s a symbolic figure, since if an offer comes in that’s interesting for all parties, they’ll sit down and analyse it.”
