The representative of Frank Armani did not rule out a possible exit to the MLS. Given the apparent interest of Inter Miami to add the world champion goalkeeper to the Argentine National Team next December, Martín Araoz spoke about the future of the player from River. The Millionaire could lose one of the leaders of the squad.
In dialogue with Radio La Red, Araoz did not close the door on his client being able to leave Núñez in the coming months. «I can’t tell you that Franco Armani is not going to Inter Miami, there are rumors, I’m not going to lie to you. He is very happy in River; In these cases he does not answer the phone, he is focused on what he has now »he explained. The former Atlético Nacional goalkeeper signed his last contractual renewal in February 2022, until December 2024.
Does Pity Martínez return to River?
River is one step away from finalizing the return of Pity Martínez after almost five years of his departure. The 30-year-old midfielder has everything agreed to cut his ties with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr and return to the Millionaire to sign a new contract. Let’s remember that Gonzalo is recovering from a serious injury so he won’t be able to play for a few months.
Núñez’s club agreed to pay compensation to Al-Nassr so that Pity terminates the link, since he still had a year left on his contract, and can return to the institution where he played between 2015 and 2019 and won eight titles. It would still be necessary to define for how many years he is linked. In this way, River would close its fourth reinforcement after the arrivals of Ramiro Funes Mori, Facundo Colidio and Manuel Lanzini.
The attacker suffered a ruptured external collateral ligament in his right knee in February, during the match in which his team faced Al-Taawon. He has already undergone surgery, but he still has not been able to return to the field of play. It is estimated that he could train normally around the month of October, in fact a few days ago he traveled to Europe to obtain medical clearance.
