Blow for Tottenham after River Plate midfielder with €100M release clause signs new contract with the club
Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readThe River Plate midfielder has signed a new contract through December 2029, featuring an unchanged €100M release clause amid concrete interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
From the source
Tottenham Hotspur’s global scouting network continues to monitor elite emerging talent across South America, with River Plate’s teenage midfield prospect Lautaro Pereyra firmly on the club’s radar.
However, securing the youngster’s signature has become significantly more complex following developments in Buenos Aires. An update shared by Transfer News Live on X, citing El Intransigente, indicates that 18-year-old midfielder Lautaro Pereyra has agreed to a long-term contract extension with River Plate that ties him to the Argentine club through December 2029.
Despite strong mounting interest from European suitors including Tottenham, River Plate have successfully protected their prized asset’s long-term valuation. Crucially, the teenager’s existing release clause remains completely untouched following the extension, keeping his buyout figure fixed at an eye-watering €100 million.
