River Plate has expressed interest in acquiring Román Vega. However, Argentinos Juniors intends to sell him to an overseas club, which makes a transfer to River Plate seem improbable. Vega, who had a brief nine-month period at Barcelona B in Spain, returned to Argentinos Juniors and played a vital role in their Apertura 2025 campaign. Despite River Plate's interest, Argentinos Juniors' strategy is to sell Vega internationally, raising doubts about his potential move to River Plate. Born in 2004, Vega significantly contributed to Argentinos Juniors' impressive run in the Apertura 2025, although the team was ultimately eliminated in the quarter-finals by San Lorenzo in a penalty shootout. River Plate has until June 10 to register new players for the Club World Cup. Nevertheless, coach Marcelo Gallardo pointed out that new signings would be aimed at long-term competitions such as the Libertadores, Clausura, and Copa Argentina, instead of focusing solely on the upcoming tournament.
