Overview
- Luca Scarlato, a 2009-born attacking midfielder in River’s seventh division and a youth international, is departing via patria potestad without financial compensation to the club.
- Multiple outlets report Italy as his destination, with Parma described as the probable landing spot on a free move after earlier links to Inter.
- River’s board says it tried several times in 2025 to secure his first professional contract, most recently in October, but the offers were turned down by representative Martín Ariel Guastadisegno.
- Clarín reported allegations that the agent offered about $200,000 to Scarlato’s mother to avoid a River contract; the family publicly denied a money motive and accused the club of poor injury management and pressure, according to Ámbito’s reporting of her remarks.
- Coverage places the exit within a pattern of patria potestad moves tied to Guastadisegno, citing past cases like Matías Soulé and Joaquín Panichelli, and notes developing, unadjudicated claims about his foreign billing and an operational link to Roc Nation Brazil.
