Lautaro Rivero

In February 2026, reports indicated River Plate expects a sale to Chelsea for over €30 million. A €100 million release clause was consistently reported across late 2025 and early 2026. Other reported valuations include approximately €6.5 million ($7 million) in December 2025 and a potential sale value of almost €12 million in November 2025. In July 2025, a €3.5 million offer from Anderlecht was reportedly rejected by River Plate. Transfermarkt's valuation was reported as €4 million in late 2025, rising to €7 million by January 2026.

Our valuation for Lautaro Ruben Rivero Cruz is driven by widespread interest from top European clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham. The primary anchor for our estimate is a February 2026 report suggesting River Plate expects a sale for 'more than 30 million'. While a €100 million release clause exists, it is widely considered prohibitive. A rejected €3.5 million bid from July 2025 indicates a much lower historical floor, but the player's profile and the level of interest have significantly increased his value since.
