Within January 2026, the interest in Agustin Ruberto appears even more intense, with teams such as Lazio seriously considering the 20-year-old Argentina U20 international.

According to TYC, Italian media reports state that a capital club has Millonario forward Agustín Ruberto on its list as a potential addition to their attack. The Argentine forward is reportedly one of three final names being considered. River states that there has not yet been any contact, but they are aware an offer could be made in the future. His release clause is 30 million dollars, which increases to approximately 35 million in the last days of the transfer window. River's plan is to retain him, facilitate his development, and establish him as a significant top-flight forward before considering his transfer.

After failing to sign primary targets, including Rayan of Vasco da Gama who attracted interest from Bournemouth, Lazio is now exploring alternative options for a young forward. The club has shifted its focus to South America, and one of the profiles being followed is Agustín Ruberto. The 2006-born Argentine forward from River Plate is viewed as an emerging talent and a potential investment for the club's future.
