Kevin Castaño is a transfer target for River Plate's management. This interest is due to the potential availability of a foreign player slot in River Plate's squad, which may be opened up once Miguel Ángel Borja obtains Argentine citizenship.

Argentinian club River Plate has proposed a transfer fee between $7 million and $8 million for Colombian midfielder Kevin Castaño. It was previously reported that the clubs have reached a verbal agreement on the transfer of the player. His contract with the Russian club Krasnodar is valid until 2028.

River Plate is intensifying negotiations to sign Colombian midfielder Kevin Castaño from Krasnodar. The coach, Marcelo Gallardo, is keen on adding Castaño to the team to partner with Enzo Pérez in midfield. River is trying to negotiate the original asking price of 10 million dollars, leveraging recent funds from the sales of Villagra and Pablo Solari.

River Plate is interested in acquiring Kevin Castaño from Krasnodar. The club is negotiating to lower the initial asking price of 10 million dollars. River Plate intends to use funds from the upcoming sale of Rodrigo Villagra to finance this transfer. They aim to invest a portion of the 10 million dollars expected from Villagra's sale, not the total amount. Kevin Castaño is seen as a valuable addition to River Plate's midfield, offering qualities that complement existing players like Enzo Pérez.

River Plate has officially begun discussions to acquire Kevin Castaño, a Colombian midfielder who is currently part of Krasnodar's team. River Plate is optimistic that the Russian club might decrease their initial asking price of 10 million dollars. The club's approach is based on the expectation that Krasnodar will be open to negotiating a lower fee and a partial stake in the player's rights, instead of requiring full ownership. River Plate has made it clear that if Krasnodar maintains their current demands, they are not prepared to pay such a substantial sum and might consider withdrawing from the transfer market or exploring other possibilities.

The agency Top Champ Sport Management, which represents Kevin Castano, has confirmed that River Plate has shown interest in the player. It is reported that Krasnodar is willing to release Castano for approximately €9.7 million. A representative from the agency acknowledged the interest, as reported by Euro-Football.ru. This season, the 24-year-old Castano has played in 21 matches, scoring one goal and providing four assists, accumulating a total of 954 minutes on the field. According to the online portal Transfermarkt, the player's estimated value is €6 million.
