While
the future of Rafael Borré
is being resolved
, who after a talk with Marcelo Gallardo decided to put Gremio's proposal on hold and wait for
a new offer from Europe
, River is already thinking about who could be his replacement.
It is that regardless of the destination he chooses, if something is clear, it is that the Colombian striker is going through
his last months with the Red Band and will not renew the link that unites him with the institution until the middle of this year.
In that sense, in Núñez they know that they will need a replacement in the hierarchy and
there is a name that is gaining more and more ground in the coach's consideration: Sebastián Driussi.
The Zenit attacker, a millionaire figure between 2016 and 2017,
expressed on several occasions his desire to return fully and already in the last market of passes the Doll acknowledged that he chatted with him daily
to try to persuade him of his return to the country.
The logical difficulties of the negotiations, due to the fact that El Gordo still had a current contract in Russia, meant that the operation could not finally be carried out, but
the player's desire to return home was not extinguished.
This week, on his Twitch channel, Driussi once again excited the riverplatenses with a brief but concise statement:
"I'll be back in June."
His revelation coincides with the information that says that
in the second semester he will not be taken into account in his current club, where he is performing out of his natural position
due to the overcrowding of forwards and also occupies a precious foreign position.
His contract ends in June 2022 and only then could he leave in a free condition, although it is not ruled out that Zenit will allow him a loan with a purchase option before
, since from December the footballer could negotiate directly with other equipment.
At the moment, it is just a coincidental illusion between a prodigal son of the institution and a coaching staff that has him among their favorites.
In the next three months, River will try to achieve the dream of his return
for the decisive stage of the Copa Libertadores.
