River Reaches Agreement With Vélez for 50% of Maher Carrizo; Player Terms Still to Be Finalized

River committed to a $6.5 million net lump-sum payment for half of the forward’s rights, with incentives lifting the reported outlay toward $9 million.

Overview

  • The clubs have agreed on a transfer framework for the 19-year-old forward, with the move awaiting Carrizo’s contract approval before becoming official.
  • Reports state River will pay $6.5 million net in a single installment within 15 days after signing, with no financing permitted under the agreement.
  • Vélez will retain 50% of the player’s economic rights, and performance-related clauses account for the remaining value beyond the net fee.
  • Carrizo, a youth international who helped Vélez to recent domestic titles, is viewed as a high-upside addition given his production at senior level.
  • The pursuit accelerated during River’s preseason under Marcelo Gallardo after talks between presidents Stefano Di Carlo and Fabián Berlanga, with local reports indicating a resolution could come this weekend.
