Tuttomercato reports that Atlético Madrid is interested in River Plate player Lautaro Rivero and that they are competing with Italian clubs for his signing. Atlético Madrid are ready to challenge Inter, Roma, Lazio and Udinese for Lautaro Rivero.

According to Tuttomercato, while Inter and Roma have been monitoring Lautaro Rivero of River Plate with interest in recent months and appeared to have an advantage over Lazio, they now seem to have directed their attention to other targets.

According to El Crack Deportivo, Inter has targeted Lautaro Rivero, a defender for River Plate who recently returned from a loan at Central Cordoba. Inter's vice president, Javier Zanetti, is one of his main supporters and views him as an important prospect for the club. In South America, there is an expectation that Inter could make a significant attempt in the summer with a proposal to River Plate that is considered appealing to acquire Lautaro Rivero.

Inter is reportedly interested in Lautaro Rivero, a 22-year-old Argentinian defender for River Plate. Several Premier League clubs have also been linked with the player, who has a contract with his current club until the end of 2028. It was reported in February 2026 that River Plate expects a sale for more than €30 million.
