According to the latest rumors, River Plate would be very close to signing Ramiro Funes Mori for the next season. The 32-year-old Argentinian defender is scheduled to end his contract with Cruz Azul in the summer of 2023 and is not expected to renew with the Mexican club, making him a free agent available to any team that is interested in him.
The Argentine defender already had a stage at River Plate between 2008 and 2015, where he became one of the most outstanding defenders of the millionaire team and won several important titles. Now, with the possibility of wearing the shirt of his former team again, Funes Mori is excited and motivated to bring his experience and defensive skills back to the club that formed him.
River Market: COME HOME! Ramiro Funes Mori, one step away from returning to the millionaire
Funes Mori has been an important player for Cruz Azul in recent seasons, being the undisputed starter in the team and becoming a leader on the field of play. Despite the fact that he has only scored one goal in 24 games played this season, his defensive ability and his experience make him an important reinforcement for River Plate.
With the incorporation of Funes Mori, River Plate will be able to strengthen its defensive rotation and have a player with proven experience and quality, which will allow them to face the demands of next season with greater guarantees. The return of the Argentine defender to River Plate not only represents an important reinforcement for the team, but also an opportunity for Funes Mori to return to play for the club that formed him and of which he is a self-confessed fan.
However, so far, neither the Argentine club nor the player himself have officially confirmed the agreement. We will have to wait and see how events develop and if this operation finally materializes, which promises to be one of the most outstanding signings of the next summer transfer market.
