Gonzalo Montiel’s Potential Return to River Plate: Negotiations Underway

River Plate is trying real hard to get Gonzalo Montiel back from Sevilla cause he hasn’t been playing much in Spain and had that loan thing in England. Sevilla didn’t like River’s first offer but they’re still talking about getting the deal done.

• River Plate had to put more money on the table after Sevilla said no the first time
• Montiel really wants to go back to Argentina since he’s not getting much game time in Europe
• The clubs are still going back and forth about how much money it’ll take

Montiel’s Career Journey and Current Transfer Talks

Gonzalo Montiel who plays right-back started out at River Plate before going to Sevilla back in 2021. But things haven’t been great in La Liga and he ended up getting loaned to Nottingham Forest for this season. Him coming back to River Plate would be like coming home especially now that they’ve sorted out that investigation thing that was messing with his career. They’re talking about paying more than the 3 million euros that got turned down before which shows River Plate really wants to get him back.

Broader Trends in Argentine Football Transfers

What’s happening with Montiel is kinda like what’s going on with other Argentine clubs bringing back players who’ve been around. Like how Lucas Zelarayán is going back to Belgrano it’s becoming a thing where teams are getting these experienced players back. You can see it in the Argentine Primera División where teams like Estudiantes and Racing Club are also trying to get better by signing specific players and keeping the good ones they already got.
