The 22-year-old striker from Cordoba was the key to the 38th title won by the “millonarios”. He did not regret the transfer of Alvarez to City and many clubs in the Old Continent like him. Three Italian clubs have taken information, he has a termination clause of 25 million dollars
From one baby bomber jacket to another, but at River the result doesn’t change. To the delight of the fans, who continue to celebrate titles, the last one the championship won in the night between Saturday and Sunday (the 38th). But also for the corporate coffers, which continue to swell without weakening a team capable of closing a cycle to immediately reopen a new one, without the slightest backlash. The symbol of the winning model that is continuing to reward River even after the transition from Gallardo to Demichelis is Lucas Beltrán, the new “cantera” cell jewel who has taken the place of Julian Alvarez and, in all likelihood, will yield yet another rich sale to a club that has collected 120 million in the last three seasons alone, reinvesting just under 35. It is no coincidence that it was he who opened the scoring on the evening that handed the championship to the millionarios: a splendid right-footed volley for coordination and precision that paved the way for River to win the final 3-1 over Estudiantes and that served to launch the party in the stands of the Monumental after just a handful of minutes. Everything in a hurry, like the dizzying growth of the Cordobese from his very early years at the Instituto up to the starting shirt in the River, of which he became the main offensive goalkeeper.
