Lucas Zelarayán, a 33-year-old Armenian international attacking midfielder, appeared on the list of potential departures from Belgrano due to interest from River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo for the next year. Although River made no formal offer for the Belgrano captain, Gallardo held a phone conversation with the footballer. Before this information became known, Zelarayán had stated his desire for a second chance with the Córdoba club. The player has a release clause of 1.3 million dollars, a figure that was confirmed the previous week. The conversation has not been confirmed by either side. In Córdoba, the potential transfer is considered a remote possibility and is even considered impossible. The Armenian international, who has 26 caps and 5 goals for his country, joined Belgrano in January 2025 and has a contract until the end of 2027. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m.
