River smiles: the millions that could come in for Enzo Díaz

The full-back is about to fulfill the clause that obliges the Brazilian club to purchase his transfer for a significant amount of dollars

Four months before the end of his contract with São Paulo, Enzo Díaz's future appears to be decided. The 29-year-old left back has a strong chance of remaining with Hernán Crespo's team, as he is about to fulfill a key clause in his loan contract.

According to journalist Maximiliano Grillo,  the Brazilian club will have to purchase the player's rights for 2 million dollars if he reaches 60% of the season's matches. Currently, Enzo only needs five more matches to meet that requirement, so at River there is already excitement about that incoming money ahead of the next transfer window.

Since his arrival at Tricolor at the beginning of the year, Enzo Díaz has played 34 official matches, with one goal and three assists to his name. In addition, he has been booked seven times and has not received a red card. Although he has not won any titles, his continuity is solid and Crespo considers him key for the second half of the Brasileirão as well as for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.

Given this scenario, everything indicates that he will continue to get playing time and the purchase obligation will be triggered soon, generating a profit for the Núñez club, which still retains the player's economic rights.

The other negotiation with São Paulo: Galoppo

Meanwhile, as Enzo Díaz departs, River also received Giuliano Galoppo on a one-year loan. Unlike the left back,  the midfielder doesn't have a purchase obligation, but there is a 3.2 million dollar option for 50% of his rights.

For now, his future depends on his performance from now until the end of the season, whether in the Clausura, Copa Argentina, or Copa Libertadores.
