River Plate seeks to sign striker Giovanni Simeone from Torino

River Plate has made a formal bid of €9 million to Torino for Argentine striker Giovanni Simeone, a product of River’s own youth system. Torino rejected the initial offer, stating it is insufficient and indicating a minimum price of around €15 million, while keeping negotiations open. The club highlighted Simeone as a top priority in its winter transfer window to reinforce the attacking line.

The player remains under contract with Torino until June 2028 and has attracted interest from Napoli, which sees an opportunity after previously selling Simeone for less than €8 million. River’s management is evaluating whether to increase its proposal to secure the forward’s return to Argentina.
