  • Reports from TNT Sports Brasil relayed by AS say Barcelona are monitoring 18-year-old Ian Subiabre of River Plate.
  • President Joan Laporta’s relationship with representative Claudio Caniggia has opened channels for exploratory talks after multiple visits by the player’s camp to Barcelona.
  • Subiabre’s contract runs to December 2026, and he has informed River he intends to renew, indicating a longer timeline for any deal.
