The two giants of Argentine soccer, Boca Juniors and River Plate, meet again with a common goal.

Both clubs are interested in signing José Manuel López, the forward from Palmeiras who has become one of the great figures in South American football, as reported by Flashscore.

The "Flaco," who previously played for Lanús, is currently shining in Brazil. With over twenty goals this season, he is one of the most important players for Verdao. His performance has caught the eye of European teams as well as Boca Juniors and River Plate, who dream of bringing him back.

His impact goes beyond just numbers. He has also been called up to the Argentine National Team and scored shortly after his last call-up, confirming his excellent form.

Palmeiras sets price: €40 million for their top scorer

Given the growing interest, the board of Palmeiras has established a clear value: José Manuel López will only leave for an offer close to €40 million. This figure is very high for any Argentine club but reflects the striker's importance in Brazil.

Coach Abel Ferreira sees the forward as key to his system and does not plan on letting him go easily. The player himself has mentioned that he is happy at Palmeiras but does not rule out advancing in his career.

Boca Juniors and River Plate are truly interested, but the competition is tough. European teams are also closely monitoring his progress, potentially making it even more challenging to secure his transfer.

The dream of returning to Argentina

Despite the high price, both Boca Juniors and River Plate remain hopeful. Both clubs believe that José Manuel López would be a top-level addition, capable of making an immediate impact.

Those close to the player insist that he would like to return to his home country someday, although his current focus is on continuing to grow at Palmeiras and staying in contention for the Argentine National Team in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

The 24-year-old forward remembers his roots. In recent statements, he expressed, "Palmeiras always believed in me and gave me the opportunity to showcase my abilities." Nonetheless, he is aware that the top clubs in Argentina have their eyes on him.

The Brazilian club has no intention of letting him go easily. The €40 million serve as a shield to protect their investment and signal that the top scorer won't depart for less.

According to Brazilian sources, several European teams have inquired about him, but as of now, no concrete offers have landed on Verdao's desk. Meanwhile, Boca Juniors and River Plate remain watchful for any developments.

To find out more about his current status, fans can visit the official website of Palmeiras at palmeiras.com.br, where club statistics and news are regularly updated.

Should he eventually leave Brazil, Boca Juniors and River Plate could engage in one of the fiercest battles of the upcoming market. A transfer valued at €40 million that could reshape Argentine football and establish José Manuel López as one of the continent's leading stars.
