Carrizo-to-River Transfer Collapses as River Reopens Winger Search

River now turns to alternative winger targets during preseason in Uruguay.

Overview

  • Negotiations ended after Vélez sought to add penalty clauses to a roughly $6–6.5 million deal for 50% of the player, according to reports.
  • The 19-year-old has indicated a preference to wait for an opportunity in Europe rather than move within Argentina.
  • Carrizo remains at Vélez under Guillermo Barros Schelotto for the time being, pending any formal offer from abroad.
  • The setback is River's third failed winger pursuit this window following attempts for Gianluca Prestianni and Santino Andino.
  • With the search reopened, River retained Facundo Colidio after rejecting a Brazilian bid of about $12 million, and the forward has returned to full training.
