River Plate has set Giovani Lo Celso as one of the main targets for the upcoming winter transfer market. The next transfer market will be crucial in the negotiations between the river team and Betis.

As confirmed by journalist Sebastián Srur on Radio Continental, the Argentine board is preparing an offer of 8 million euros to negotiate with the Betis, with the operation depending on the team qualifying for the next Copa Libertadores.

Giovani Lo Celso's decrease in playing time at Betis

The 30-year-old midfielder from Rosario has a contract with Betis until June 2028. However, physical issues resulting from his delayed return after the national team's World Cup and strong competition in the midfield have reduced his playing time to just 6 minutes in 1 match against Villarreal.

The lack of continuity under Manuel Pellegrini has devalued the player, reopening the possibility of a winter transfer.

River Plate's sporting requirement in the annual table to finalize the signing

The Argentine international's move to South American football would mark his return after 11 years abroad, since leaving Rosario Central for PSG in January 2016. To submit the 8 million euros formal proposal, the Buenos Aires board needs to secure the continental spot.

With 6 matches left in the Clausura, the team sits in ninth place in the tournament and holds tenth place in the accumulated annual table, needing positive results in the competition's final stretch.

River Plate's financial strategy to close the deal

River Plate's top management plans to allocate 8 million euros to acquire the midfielder's full rights. The board believes this financial injection will be appealing to the Seville club, looking to reduce wage costs in their squad.

The River Plate executives trust that a leading role within the team will persuade the player to return to the Argentine league at the beginning of the year. The club's technical department will assess the team's mathematical progression in the local tournament during October and November of 2026.

If River Plate secures qualification for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores, the board will start negotiations to finalize Lo Celso's incorporation in January.
