Juventus Eyes Santiago Beltrán

River is offering higher pay plus a steep release clause to extend his contract, aiming to block foreign bids.

Overview

  • River's 21-year-old Santiago Beltrán became the club's starting goalkeeper this year after injuries to senior keepers and has played 33 matches with 15 clean sheets.
  • Juventus has carried out informal scouting and agent contacts about Beltrán but has not made a formal transfer offer.
  • River has opened urgent talks to extend Beltrán's deal beyond its December 2027 expiry toward 2029 with a significant wage increase and a much higher release clause.
  • Beltrán holds an Italian passport and has reported agent links with high-profile keepers, features that make him more attractive to Italian clubs as Juventus reshuffles its goalkeeping options.
  • Saturday reporting shows the situation remains fluid and developing, with River focused on contract protection and Juventus treating Beltrán as an option rather than a confirmed target.
