River and Godoy Cruz Reach Deal for Santino Andino With Player Decision Pending

Godoy Cruz rejected Panathinaikos and is prioritizing a sale that preserves future upside through a retained stake.

Overview

  • Godoy Cruz president José Manzur says the clubs have an agreement and only Andino’s contract with River remains to be finalized.
  • Panathinaikos’ bid reported at about $7 million for 50% of the pass was turned down as the Mendoza club chose River as its preferred partner.
  • Reported structure includes roughly $2 million upfront plus bonuses and a retained sell‑on of about 30%, though final figures have not been confirmed.
  • Manzur noted concern over recent changes in Andino’s representation and other outside influences but indicated a resolution is expected soon.
  • Separately, starting goalkeeper Franco Petroli moves to Lanús on loan with an option to buy as part of Godoy Cruz’s post-relegation reset.
