Spanish media reported that Sevilla were looking to free up a place for a former EU player and that Acuña’s departure would also save them a significant salary. The Andalusian side were willing to let the defender go “even almost for free”, reported Diario AS.
River Plate has been very active in the summer transfer market and has made some important signings in recent weeks, taking into account the return of Marcelo Gallardo, in addition to the signings of Germán Pezzella, Fabricio Bustos and Maximiliano Meza.
Marcos Acuña will return to Argentine football after seven years in the Old Continent. During his European adventure, the full-back played for Sporting Lisbon and in 2020 he signed with Sevilla.
With Sporting he won two League Cups and a Portuguese Cup, while with Sevilla he lifted the 2023 Europa League.
