River Plate advances talks for Angel Correa and Giovanni Simeone

River Plate confirmed the signings of Nicolás Otamendi and Mauro Arambarri and is in advanced negotiations for striker Angel Correa. Tigres UANL denied receiving any formal offer from River, while club officials say River is prepared to match Correa's current salary and aims to recover its €9.5 million investment.

River has also lodged a €9 million bid for former River youth product Giovanni Simeone, who is on loan at Torino. Torino values the player at €15 million, leaving a €6 million gap that River hopes to bridge in forthcoming talks. The Argentine club continues to explore other targets such as Thiago Almada as the pre‑season approaches.
