River Plate could close an addition in the next few days that has been on its radar for some time. The Núñez club is very attentive to the contractual situation of Maximiliano Salas, a 27-year-old Argentine forward who has no intention of extending his contract with Racing. The player, who has had a standout season, views a change of scenery favorably, and all signs point to his next destination being the Monumental, where he would sign a four-season contract.

Maximiliano Salas will sign for River Plate

Optimism surrounds the player regarding the possibility of taking a leap forward in his career. Salas has been a key piece in Avellaneda's offensive line, demonstrating great ability to move between the lines and define in critical moments. That versatility has caught River's attention, as they seek to strengthen their attack with profiles that combine dedication, goals, and tactical understanding. The attacker possesses these qualities, and his name has climbed in the coaching staff's list of priorities.

One key aspect of the deal will be the transfer fee. Although Racing holds a release clause set at eight million euros, there is a possibility that the transfer could be completed for a lower amount. Everything will depend on how negotiations progress between both institutions, but the player's desire could be crucial in facilitating his arrival at the Argentine team. River, on the other hand, deems his addition strategic for the upcoming competitive cycle.

The intention of the millionaires' club is for Salas to join the squad as soon as possible to start the preseason with his new teammates. The contract's duration, extending until June 2029, reflects the long-term commitment that the leadership aims to make with the forward born in Temperley.
