Attention River: Borussia Dortmund is closely monitoring Juan Cruz Meza

River continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the most prestigious youth academies in world football, and one of its new prospects has already attracted interest in Europe. According to SkySport from Germany, Borussia Dortmund sent representatives to Argentina to closely monitor Juan Cruz Meza, a forward from Corrientes who is only 17 years old.

The representatives from the German club, managed by Niko Kovac, took advantage of their stay in the country to watch the young player in action, although they were only able to attend Reserve division matches. The European outlet highlighted the striker's offensive versatility and revealed that other clubs on the continent might also be interested in signing him.

Trained in River's youth system, Meza made his debut in the first round of the Torneo Clausura against Platense and then started against Instituto and Lanús, totaling eight appearances in the First Division under the guidance of Marcelo Gallardo. However, he has not been drafted again since the match against Unión in the Copa Argentina, last August 28.

Despite the positive impression he made in his early performances, Maximiliano Meza's brother was not included in the final list for Argentina's U-17 National Team that will debut at the World Cup in Qatar. The decision was surprising, although the Millonario trust that he will continue his development within the club.

The club's management is seeking to prevent further early departures of its young talents, as has happened on other occasions. For now, there are no formal offers or direct contacts for the player. Meza, who will reach legal age in March, has a contract valid until December 2026 and a release clause of 30 million dollars, which gives the club room to negotiate a longer contract and a higher clause.
