Yahoo Sports

Roma is eyeing River Plate's Lautaro Rivero for next season, offering €20 million as part of its strategy to bolster its attack.

Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma's head coach, is poised to add a key player to his squad for next season. The club has sent two representatives personally to meet River Plate’s central defender Lautaro Rivero. Born in 2003 and already playing alongside Messi, Rivero has impressed the Giallorossi scouts with his performances.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma is offering €20 million for the player, a way to secure one of Argentina’s top talents despite the high release clause. The club will also be evaluating offers from other clubs before deciding on a potential sale. As Roma aims to strengthen their attack without neglecting defense, this acquisition could significantly boost their chances in Serie A.
