Genoa is reportedly interested in signing 29-year-old Lucas Martínez Quarta from River Plate to strengthen its defensive department. Contacts have been initiated to set up negotiations for the Argentinian defender, who also holds Italian citizenship. It is said that he is highly appreciated by Genoa's management. A potential obstacle in the talks could be the substantial salary the player earns at River Plate. Martínez Quarta is familiar with Serie A, having played for Fiorentina from 2020 until a few months ago, when he was sold back to River Plate for 7 million euros, half the 13 million euros Fiorentina had originally paid for him. The defender has 15 caps for Argentina, and his contract at River Plate is valid until December 31, 2028. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €4.50m.
