In the Superclasico preview, Lautaro Rivero extended his contract with River

River continues to bet on its lower divisions and ensured the continuity of one of its growing players.

This Tuesday, Lautaro Rivero signed the extension of his contract until December 31, 2029, with a salary improvement and a termination clause of 100 million dollars.

The renewal includes his first salary update since his return to the Millionaire and maintains the millionaire clause, in line with the club's policy of shielding its promising young people and avoiding exits without prior negotiation. In the case of Rivero, he is one of the examples of sustained work in lower education promoted by the management, with the intention of nourishing the professional squad with

home-trained soccer players.

The 22-year-old central defender, who originally had a current relationship until the end of 2028, thus sealed his continuity with the club after consolidating himself as a starter after his return in mid-2025, when he was redeployed from his loan at Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero

.

In sports, the defender was not present in the last match against Racing because he reached the yellow card limit, although he was already qualified for the next Super Classic against Boca, where he is emerging as the starter. In addition, everything indicates that he will be part of the team that will face Carabobo at Monumental for the Copa Sudamericana, in a context in which the club seeks to sustain its base of

young players with projection.
