Fluminense stipulates R$60 million to negotiate Canobbio with River Plate
Fluminense agrees to open negotiations with River Plate for the transfer of attacker Canobbio upon payment of R$60 million. Information about the position of the Rio club’s board of directors was initially released by journalist César Luis Merlo. The Uruguayan athlete remains an absolute starter in coach Luis Zubeldía’s tactical scheme during the current South American football season.
The Argentine technical committee led by Eduardo Coudet expressed formal interest in signing the player to reinforce Buenos Aires’s squad. Apesar the coach’s strong desire to count on the number 17’s football, the values demanded by the Fluminense leadership make it difficult to immediately advance conversations between the associations. The Rio board of directors made a significant investment of R$37 million to acquire the attacker’s federative rights the previous year.
Previous Investimento and appreciation of the athlete in the market
The current financial request reflects the player’s technical evolution within national and continental competitions. Fluminense projects a profit of R$23 million in relation to the amount disbursed at the time of contracting with Athletico-PR. The appreciation accompanies the consistent performance under the command of Luis Zubeldía, who considers the attacker a fundamental piece in the Rio team’s offensive tactical structure.
River Plate directors consider the figure to be high for current investment standards in Argentine football. The Buenos Aires club analyzes financial viability before presenting an official counter-proposal in the coming weeks. Eduardo Coudet continues to pressure directors internally to find a financial engineering alternative capable of definitively making the business viable.
Striker Desempenho and call-up for the world tournament
The athlete’s individual moment reaches its peak with the recent confirmation of his name on the official Uruguai list. The technical committee of the Uruguayan national team called up the winger to compete in this year’s Copa and Mundo. Essa international visibility works as a central argument for maintaining the price stipulated by the board led by the president Mário Bittencourt.
The main statistics and the athlete’s outlook for the season detail the reasons for the high valuation:
- Initial Investimento of Fluminense upon hiring: R$37 million
- Current Pedida for transfer to River Plate: R$60 million
- Current Idade of the Uruguayan athlete: 27 years old
- Current Status in Uruguai selection: Convocado to Copa of Mundo
- Próximo official commitment on Campeonato Brasileiro: Cruzeiro on Belo Horizonte
The striker spoke publicly about the transfer rumors after the end of the match against Independiente Rivadavia by Copa Libertadores. The player treated the interest as a direct recognition for the work performed in Brazilian football, but avoided projecting an immediate departure of Rio from Janeiro. The athlete’s focus remains divided between the decisive rounds of the national tournament and preparation for the world team tournament.
Preparação for the clash against Cruzeiro in Belo Horizonte
The squad led by Luis Zubeldía keeps training focused on the continuity of Campeonato Brasileiro. Fluminense travels to Minas Gerais to face Cruzeiro next Sunday, May 31st, in a match valid for the national competition. The delegation seeks to gain points away from home to sustain the direct pursuit of the leaders of the general leaderboard.
The Rio team accumulates 30 points and occupies third place in the competition table. O aproveitamento recente mantém o grupo vivo na disputa pelas primeiras posições com o Flamengo e o Palmeiras. The technical committee plans to select the Uruguayan striker among the starters for the clash at Estádio Mineirão, postponing any physical preservation until the pre-world cup period.
