River Plate are in talks with striker Facundo Colidio to work out a contract, but have yet to make an offer to Inter Milan.

This according to Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, who reports in a tweet that the Argentine giants have not yet put forward their offer to the Nerazzurri but are advancing in talks with 23-year-old Argentine striker Colidio.

Colidio is back at Inter after a loan spell at Tigre since January of 2022.

The Argentine, who joined Inter from Boca Juniors in 2017, returned to his home country after a tough period in European football.

Colidio reignited his career during his loan spell with Tigre. There, he formed a strong partnership in attack with Mateo Retegui.

This has led to interest from a number of the country’s biggest clubs in signing him. Meanwhile, Mexican team Toluca are also reportedly keen.

River Plate Want Facundo Colidio But Yet To Make Inter Milan An Offer

River Plate appear to be very keen to sign Colidio based on his performances for Tigre.

Whilst Boca also want to sign back the Argentine, it is River who have been pushing with the player. They are ready to agree a contract with Colidio.

However, Edul reports that “Inter haven’t received an offer from River for Facundo Colidio yet.”

“River are in active talks with Colidio regarding a contract. However, they are yet to make an offer, or Inter to agree to a deal.”

Since joining Inter from Boca, Colidio never quite found form.

Colidio had a promising spell on loan at Sint-Truiden in the Belgian top flight between 2019 and 2021. However, during the summer transfer window of 2021 things did not work out for the young striker.

Colidio had appeared to be close to a loan move to Austria Vienna for the 2021-22 season. However, that move fell apart close to deadline day.

There was not time enough to locate a different loan club for Colidio before the end of the window.

However, a return to his home country has seen Colidio spread his wings. Now he is inching towards a big move in his home country.
