The two offers from Freiburg in Germany (it made one of 10 million euros and then improved it) were considered insufficient by Riverbut they positioned the goals of Lucas Beltran in the European market. The killer of the champion team arouses the interest of different clubs on the Old Continent and in the last hours a rumor arose that places him on the radar of the Atletico Madrid of Diego Simeone.

For his huge tournament and the growth he showed on the field, the one that led him to go from being the third option behind Borja and Rondón to imposing himself as an undisputed figurein Núñez they know that they are going to have to keep an eye on their scorer until the end of the market, the same thing that happens with another fundamental piece like Nicolás de la Cruz.

And in this context, in Madrid they say that if the Mattress sells to Alvaro Morata -Inter wants him and this Tuesday he was not present at training- and he does the same with Joao Felix -He is wanted by Barcelona-, the surname by which they would go to the charge to reinforce the lead would be Beltrán, who a few months ago also sounded at Aleti, although a real interest on the part of Cholo could not be confirmed.

Lucas Beltrán put the first from the start

Meanwhile, River’s position for the striker who has 11 goals in the LPF (22 in 74 PJ in the CARP) is firm: His exit clause of €20 million (increases to 25 in the last days of the transfer book) works as a reference value for Cordoba, who has a contract until December 2025. Thus, in case of negotiating it, it will be for a net figure very close to those values ​​or that is close through a percentage of a future sale. Otherwise, his goals will continue in Núñez despite the rumors.

River champion, lower scorer: in 2023, the seventh consecutive time

River champion? Goal scorer of the quarry then. It is not a rule, but it is something that has been repeated quite often. The 11 goals that Beltrán has scored so far in the tournament that Martín Demichelis’s team has already won not only make him the top scorer on the squad, but they add to a streak that has been going on since 2002…

In that year, those directed by Ramón Díaz won the Clausura and something began that has been maintained uninterruptedly to this day: a Fernando Cavenaghi barely 19 years old and recently emerged from the Inferior Leagues, he was the scorer with 15 shouts. However, the striker did not settle and remained at the top of the team in the next two local tournaments that River won: the Clausura 2003, led by Manuel Pellegrini (13 goals), and the Clausura 2004, with Leo Astrada as DT (nine).

The similar goals of Lucas Beltrán and Julián Álvarez in River

In the following AFA championship that was held by the Millionaire, the logic was repeated again: Diego Good nighta 20-year-old boy who is 1.60 meters tall, celebrated nine times and was decisive for the title that the Cholo Simeone team would end up lifting one date before the end. And the last one for a long time: six years later, by the hand of Ramón, a new star would arrive: in the Final Tournament 2014, Cavenaghi scored eight goals.

Of course, the list does not end there: in the 2021 Professional League, a certain Julián Álvarez appeared who monopolized all the flashes and conquered none other than Pep Guardiola with his 18 goals (plus six assists) and an extraordinary level. A decisive appearance for the club to win its penultimate league title: in this 2023, Beltrán took over from his friend and continued on his way.
