Overview
- Reports detail a structure in which River acquires 50% of Carrizo’s economic rights and Vélez retains the other half to share in any future sale.
- Payment terms call for about $6.5 million net (roughly $8.5 million gross) in a single installment within 15 days of signing, with no financing.
- The move remains contingent on Carrizo’s consent as he evaluates River against possible bids from Europe following a recent switch to agent Augusto Paraja.
- Despite the negotiations, Vélez used Carrizo in Saturday’s preseason friendlies against Midland, starting him in the second match that finished 1-0 to the visitors.
- If completed, Carrizo would be River’s fourth addition after Fausto Vera, Aníbal Moreno and Matías Viña, a shift from Vélez’s prior $16 million release-clause stance.
