Lionel Messi is said to really want Inter Miami to recruit a star from River Plate.

As revealed by Argentina’s TyC Sports station, Lionel Messi actively intervened in the transfer market by asking Inter Miami to recruit Agustin Palavecino, a midfielder currently on River Plate’s payroll.

With the recent departure of key players in this position and losses due to injury and call-ups to the national team, River faces the possibility of losing another of its talents..

The departures of Enzo Perez, Bruno Zuculini and Nicolas de la Cruz, along with prodigy Claudio Echeverri being called up to the U23 team and Gonzalo Martinez’s injury, have left River’s midfield depleted. Meanwhile, Inter Miami, where Messi is conquering new challenges with famous players such as Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez, is looking to strengthen its midfield and has placed an interest in Agustin Palavecino after disappointing negotiations regarding Cristian Medina with Boca Juniors.

Although there is still no official response from River Plate regarding Inter Miami’s offer, the Argentine club is waiting to find out Palavecino’s intentions through its representative. Although not a main player in coach Martin Demichelis’ team last season, the 27-year-old midfielder is often selected from the bench and is being targeted by Inter Miami to strengthen its squad. .

In this year’s winter market, Inter Miami recruited two extremely high-quality contracts: famous striker Luis Suarez and MLS 2023 champion – Julian Gressel.

On the other hand, San Lorenzo Club also tried to sign a contract with Palavecino during this winter transfer window but was unsuccessful. Uncertainty over the talented 27-year-old’s future still exists, and Inter Miami hopes to receive a positive response to complete the signing of the Argentine midfielder.
