Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have been chasing River Plate\u2019s Ian Subiabre in recent months. <\/strong><\/p>\n On March 18th, Sport Witness relayed news of the Blues tracking the 19-year-old for over a year.<\/p>\n Last month, we covered claims from Argentina about Tottenham accelerating efforts to sign the winger.<\/p>\n The Argentina U20 international is a product of River Plate\u2019s youth system and made his first team debut in 2024.<\/p>\n However, the winger only started to feature regularly this year as he played 886 minutes from 20 matches, managing a goal and two assists.<\/p>\n Although the statistics aren\u2019t that impressive, he has already caught the attention of top European clubs.<\/p>\n Soy del Millo report the Argentine club\u2019s coach staff intend to hold on to Ian Subiabre.<\/p>\n At the same time, his sale for a desired price can help them meet their desired financial objectives. This is also needed to improve their squad.<\/p>\n Several European clubs are watching him closely and among these, Tottenham, Chelsea, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have \u2018expressed formal interest\u2019. Meanwhile, Villarreal and Lazio have joined the chase.<\/p>\n Subiabre\u2019s agent Claudio Caniggia wants to capitalise on their interest to secure a move to Europe.<\/p>\n Another report from Soy del Millo shares more on this case, after sharing journalist Hern\u00e1n Castillo\u2019s latest update.<\/p>\n According to Castillo, the agent is pushing for his client\u2019s sale as soon as possible. River Plate have given then green light, provided there\u2019s an offer that convinces them.<\/p>\n In the past few hours, the South American club turned down an $8m (\u20ac6.8m) bid and now demand $10-15m (\u20ac8.5-12.7m).<\/p>\n The outlet states: \u2018Subiabre is undoubtedly one of the most interesting prospects to emerge from the club in recent years: a skilful and unpredictable winger, with a profile highly sought after by European clubs.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n Therefore, River Plate are expecting \u2018important offers\u2019 from Tottenham, Chelsea and Villarreal.<\/p>\n The Premier League duo shouldn\u2019t have much trouble meeting the Argentine club\u2019s asking price of \u20ac8.5-12.7m.<\/p>\n However, there\u2019s nothing to indicate if either of them are willing to meet their demand.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also possible Ian Subiabre\u2019s agent could be using Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea to create hype or put pressure on another genuine contender.<\/p>\n The youngster\u2019s contract lasts until December 2028, and Transfermarkt value him at \u20ac3.5m.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have been chasing River Plate\u2019s Ian Subiabre in recent months.
