Agustín Canobbio referred to River's interest in adding it: 'It's a pride to notice me'

While defining objectives in the Apertura Tournament and the Copa Sudamericana, River is already starting to move ahead of the next pass market and added a new name to the list of candidates to reinforce the squad: Agustín Canobbio. The Uruguayan left winger, currently in Fluminense, was contacted by Eduardo Coudet and did not hide his enthusiasm in the face of the million-dollar

interest.

“I'm proud that River looks at me. They're looking at my work, my football. It is a great pride because I have been doing things well and beautiful things are coming,” said the striker after the Flu match against Independente Rivadavia for the

Copa Libertadores.

The 28-year-old also left the door open to landing in Argentine football, something that has not yet happened in his career. “At some point it can happen. My dad has played in Argentina before and he loves Argentine football, he's passionate,” he

said.

Along the same lines, he valued the possibility of contact from the management: “If Enzo (Franchescoli) ever calls me, it's another source of pride”. However, he lowered the tone of expectation and remarked on his present: “We'll see, I don't know. First I have Fluminense, which is all I have to think about and work on

.”

The interest in Canobbio is no accident. El Chacho is looking for a player who gives him hierarchy in the attack and considers him a key player to achieve it in the second half of the year. Coudet himself even contacted the player personally to express his desire to add him

Beyond the intention to move forward to add it in the next semester, negotiation does not seem easy. The attacker has a contract with the Brazilian club until December 2028 and was acquired in early 2025 for a figure close to 6 million dollars, so Fluminense would only let him go for a higher amount. In addition, their salary represents another challenge for any South American team

For now, interest is on the table and the player has already given positive signals. The next step will depend on River formally moving forward in a negotiation that promises to be complex.
