Giay's representative has put the possibility of a transfer to River Plate on the table and pressure to complete the sale is expected to increase, particularly given San Lorenzo's alarming financial situation. Because the club urgently needs to make up $30 million, it faces FIFA bans, embargoes and repayments of more than three months for players and coaching staff.
River can take advantage of the situation in San Lorenzo
The critical situation in San Lorenzo opens the door for the departure of outstanding players like Agustín Giay. The right-back, valued at €8 million, will end his contract with the club in December 2026. Despite his youth, Giay excelled at an exceptional level, playing 64 games last year.
The possible arrival of Giay at River Plate would be a luxury reinforcement for the team for next season, especially if they aim to win the Copa Conmebol Libertadores. The economic crisis in San Lorenzo appears to be driving moves in the market and the future of the talented Argentine full-back is uncertain as clubs negotiate amid this financial storm. The story continues and the fate of Agustín Giay continues to be the center of attention in the Argentine transfer market.
