Getafe To Bid For River Starlet

Spanish sports daily Marca claims that new manager Toni Muñoz is impressed by the 22-year-old Argentine, who is one of the most promising players in his domestic league.

Having broken through to the River Plate lineup in the 2005/06 campaign, he has since made 56 league appearances for Los Millonairos, netting three times in the process.

The Pergamino-born player, who can operate as an attacking midfielder, on either flank, or as a forward, made his debut for the International side earlier this year.

Getafe will look to secure Italian citizenship for the midfielder, who has also been tracked by Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Arsenal. A transfer fee of around €4m is said to be enough for 'El Negro'.
