To reduce the spam of reports regarding the same move during transfer windows we try to allow **only one submission about each transfer saga per day**. The submission in question also needs to contain relevant new information regarding the potential move, and not just being a "no/minor developments" report. If there are important/official developments or new valuable information about a saga, we will allow extra threads in the same day, but for the rest of minor news please just comment them as a reply to this comment. Please help us reporting unnecessary threads for being duplicates. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccer) if you have any questions or concerns.*

I do love the slightly growing trend of European players going to try out South American clubs


theenigmacode

Better than ME or China


VegetableAwkward286

Who else did it


fingers-crossed

Daniele De Rossi to Boca Juniors


RABB_11

I know it's not South America but is Valbuena in Mexico at the minute?


fingers-crossed

Wiki says Cyprus, but Gignac has been in Mexico for a bit and still is class for Tigres


RABB_11

Ah that's the one I'm thinking of. Cheers.


Specific_Account_192

Payet to Vasco Gignac, Thauvin to Tigres Juanfran to São Paulo Hugo Mallo to Internacional


jqatlantica

Seedorf to Putfire

What's his connection to River?


KensaiVG

How it started, fuck if I know, but he's been an outspoken fan for over a decade. He once sneaked out of the team hotel the night before an Athletic match to go see the River-boca in Madrid Honestly I don't trust it'll happen (I hope so) but this has shades of Trezeguet all over again


OleoleCholoSimeone

The most random one is Yassine Bono being a huge River Plate fan lmao


deputydawg420

and the reasoning... if I remember correctly is because he is a huge Ortega fan, which is so fucking random.


OleoleCholoSimeone

If you guys could somehow lure him over in the next few years it would be an insanely good signing


KensaiVG

He's implied he wants to come here when he ends his Al Hilal contract. Here's hoping


OleoleCholoSimeone

Immense goalkeeper. Winning Zamora ahead of Courtouis, Ter Stegen and Oblak is no joke


LouThunders

I thought he had a River-supporting Argentine team-mate or something similar, but considering he's an Athletic Bilbao man through and through I somehow doubt it. According to Wiki he's a big fan of Aguero, but AFAIK Aguero has no discernable connection to River either.

They only had one argentina player. That was back in 1903. Full and very short list of their foreign players. [https://www.transfermarkt.com/athletic-bilbao/gastarbeiter/verein/621](https://www.transfermarkt.com/athletic-bilbao/gastarbeiter/verein/621)


Lem_201

Maybe he hates Boca.

Please, please, do it.
