Sebastián Driussi, a forward currently playing for Austin FC in the MLS, could star in a dream return to River Plate, the club where he began his football career. At 28 years old, the Argentine attacker is shaping up to be the main target for Marcelo Gallardo to strengthen River's offensive line. Since his departure from Núñez in 2017, when he was transferred to Zenit for a significant sum, the player has shown significant growth, making him an ambitious bet for the Argentine side.
The insane price that River Plate could pay
River's coach sees Driussi as a key piece to revitalize the attack, thanks to his experience and versatility. His time in Russian and MLS football has provided him with a background that could be crucial in the team's challenges. However, the operation is not without controversy, as the amount under consideration, close to 9 million euros, has sparked debates among fans and sports analysts. Some believe the cost is high for the South American market, while others point out that the potential impact of the forward would justify the investment.
Meanwhile in Austin, Driussi has been one of the standout figures, showcasing a level that has not gone unnoticed in international football. Nevertheless, the forward would view favorably the chance to return to the club where his professional career began, and where he holds a deep emotional bond. River Plate's interest could be the definitive push for the goal-scorer to conclude his spell in the MLS.
The River Plate fans remain expectant as negotiations progress. Driussi's potential return would not only strengthen the team but also symbolize the homecoming of a prodigal son, ready to write a new chapter in the club's rich history.
