Chelsea Linked With River Plate’s Lautaro Rivero as Reports Point to €100m Clause
Unconfirmed links describe a high price and a long deal to 2028, making a winter move a challenging proposition.
Overview
- Fresh reports tie Chelsea to 22-year-old centre back Lautaro Rivero, with interest also reported from Atlético Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.
- Rivero is said to have a €100 million release clause and a contract running until 2028, which would complicate any approach.
- Coverage describes a January transfer as possible only if a particularly convincing offer emerges.
- Chelsea-focused reporting frames the pursuit within the club’s youth-first recruitment approach and its evaluation of defender Aaron Anselmino, who has seen limited minutes on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
- These claims rely on secondary outlets including SportWitness, Chelsea News and CaughtOffside, and there has been no confirmation from the clubs involved.
