River Plate is working on an important return for the Club World Cup.

River Plate is already planning key moves for the upcoming transfer market, and one of the names that has caught the most attention is Santiago Sosa, as reported by TyC Sports. The central midfielder, currently playing on loan at Racing from Atlanta United, has established himself as a key player in the team coached by Gustavo Costas. Despite Racing having the first refusal option for 80% of his rights, River aims to bring back the player who emerged from their youth ranks, with an eye on strengthening their squad for the Club World Cup.

Sosa has proven to be a versatile player, not only occupying his natural position as a central midfielder but also excelling as a sweeper in a three-man defense. His performances in the Professional League and the Copa Sudamericana, where Racing reached the semifinals, have been notable. Furthermore, he has worn the captain's armband on several occasions, enhancing his profile as a leader on the field.

River Plate aims to reinforce their midfield

For the player, a potential return to River would mean going back to the club where he made his debut under Marcelo Gallardo in the 2018 Copa Libertadores, incidentally against Racing. However, his initial spell at the club did not provide him with many minutes due to stiff competition in his position with players like Leonardo Ponzio and Enzo Pérez, prompting him to seek continuity in the MLS.

River's interest in Sosa reflects their desire to strengthen the midfield with a young yet experienced player who knows the club well and has the potential to establish himself in the team. The evolution of the negotiations will need to be monitored, especially considering Racing's purchase option on the player.
