River Plate has midfielder Aníbal Moreno as one of its main targets for the 2025 season and has already started talks with the player’s representatives. The Argentine club’s board is aware that Palmeiras is ruling out any possibility of a loan, demanding a permanent transfer to release the athlete.

Aníbal Moreno not River Plate?
According to “UOL”, Palmeiras’ position is that the deal will only happen if the club manages to recover the total amount invested in the contract with Racing. At the end of 2023, Alviverde disbursed around 7 million dollars fixed, in addition to 1 million dollars in bonuseswhich totaled approximately R$40 million in the price at the time. So far, the São Paulo club denies having received an official offer on its table.
Although he ended the year in reserve, Aníbal Moreno arrives valued on the market due to his recent stint with the Argentine national team. The midfielder was called up by Lionel Scaloni for the Qualifiers in October, playing in the clash against Puerto Rico, where he received positive reviews from the press in his country. This international highlight reinforces the financial request of the Palmeiras leadership.
On the player’s side, the return to Argentine football is seen positively, especially after a period of oscillation in Brazil. Aníbal suffered again from the physical exhaustion caused by the national calendar and lost space in the starting team, to the point of not starting the Copa Libertadores final. Furthermore, the expulsion in the classic against Corinthians, which resulted in the team’s defeat in the Copa do Brasil, generated internal wear and tear that contributed to the desire for a change of scenery.
