Official: Beltran returns to River Plate from Fiorentina for €6m
After failing to establish himself at Fiorentina following his move from River Plate, Lucas Beltrán has officially returned to the Argentine club for a reported €6 million. The forward had struggled for consistent playing time in Serie A and will look to revive his career in familiar surroundings. The deal represents a significant loss for Fiorentina on their initial investment, as the Italian side had paid around €15-20m for his services.

For Fiorentina, this is a quiet retreat from an investment that didn't pay off, freeing up wage bill and a non-EU/foreign roster slot. For River Plate, reacquiring a proven goal-scorer from their system on the cheap could provide a timely attacking boost. The fee suggests Fiorentina are taking a haircut, reinforcing the growing trend of South American clubs negotiating favorable buy-back terms.
