Tuttomercato reports that Atletico Madrid is prepared to compete with Italian clubs Inter, Roma, Lazio, and Udinese for Lautaro Rivero of River Plate.

Tuttomercato reports that Inter and Roma are interested in Lautaro Rivero from River Plate. The player, born in 2003, has been followed with interest in recent months by Inter and Roma, and the two clubs seemed to be ahead of Lazio. However, at the moment they seem to have shifted their focus to other targets. In April, he renewed his contract with River until 2029, and purchasing him would cost around 10 million.

According to Tuttomercato, Lazio has in recent days become one of the clubs following Lautaro Ruben Rivero Cruz. It is reported that several Italian clubs are monitoring the player.

Lazio's sporting director, Angelo Fabiani, is monitoring the Argentinian market for defensive reinforcements for next season and is following Lautaro Rivero. The River Plate player, born in 2003, is part of the Argentina national team setup under Scaloni, but he is not the only prospect being considered, as the club is also tracking other profiles from the Argentinian top flight. The centre-back joined River Plate in January 2024 and his contract runs until the end of 2028. He has made 11 appearances and scored one goal in the Torneo Apertura this season. His current market value is €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Several other clubs have also been linked with the player, including Inter, Brighton & Hove Albion, and West Ham United.
