River Plate ends talks for midfielder Federico Fattori, Torreles poised to sign him

River Plate had opened negotiations to acquire midfielder Federico Fattori from Argentinos Juniors, reportedly offering US$2.5 million. The club and the player’s representatives held a meeting to try to close the deal, but River decided the midfielder did not fit the team’s tactical needs and ceased further negotiations.

With River withdrawing, Club Atlético Talleres has emerged as the strongest candidate to sign Fattori. The Córdoba side sees the player as a direct fit for its midfield needs and is expected to move forward with talks in the coming days.
