Moscow offered Argentina's "River Plate" 17 million dollars. The target of the president of the Russian champions club, Evgeny Giner, is the twenty-year-old striker of the Argentine youth national team, Fernandas Cavenaghis.
It seems that "CSKA" is not going to stop buying South Americans. In winter, buying Daniel Carvalho and Osmar Ferreira cost a lot of money, but it seems that they still have some left. And quite a lot...
According to the president of "River Plate" club, a fax with a phenomenal offer from "CSKA" arrived at the club's office last Friday. "We haven't met with representatives of the Russian club yet," said the "River" leader. "We will first listen to what the player's agent has to say, and then decide how to proceed. It is no secret that we have quite a few offers from European clubs - from Spain, England, and Italy. However, Cavenaghis will leave the team no earlier than July."
The player himself is refraining from commenting for now. "I only know what is written in the newspapers," said Cavenaghis. "And, to be honest, for now it doesn't mean much to me: the most important matches of the championship and the Libertadores Cup are ahead of me."
At just 20 years old, Cavenaghis has become one of the most sought-after South American footballers. Last December, in the World Youth Football Championship held in the United Arab Emirates, scoring 4 goals, he became the top scorer of the Argentine national team, confirming his status as a promising young star. Even last year, prominent clubs such as showed interest in the young striker.
The striker also caught the attention of other Russian teams. Moscow's representatives showed interest in the striker, but were put off by Cavenaghis's high price. He was also of interest to .
This news once again confirms the unofficial information that at the moment, the financial capabilities of "CSKA" do not lag behind the potential of leading European football clubs. The only reason why young talents still refuse to go to Russia is the negative aura surrounding Russia's image. Players are simply afraid to go to a country that is most often described with three words: "vodka," "cold," and "bears." One more: "balalaika."
