Now, according to Soy del Millo, Chelsea have contacted River Plate over a potential transfer for Ian Subiabre, 18.
Subiabre has previously been of interest to Barcelona but River are keen on tying the winger down to a new deal as his current contract expires in December 2026.
Per River Noticias, the youngster has a €30 million release clause in his contract, but the Argentine giants are hoping to raise that to €100m.
It’s understood his agents aren’t too keen on having such a high release clause, however, and would like it to be around the €35-40m mark.
