Lucas Alario, Argentine forward, has started a new chapter in the football of his country by officially debuting with Estudiantes de La Plata in the Torneo Apertura. This marks a change after his time at Inter de Porto Alegre, where he failed to stand out and decided to join the La Plata team.
Regarding his frustrated arrival at River Plate, Alario commented: "These are things in life." The forward was a starter in Estudiantes' 3-1 victory against Unión de Santa Fe and when asked about his arrival at the club, he expressed: "It happened. I found a great club that has been achieving titles for three years, with values and human quality."
Despite his affection for River Plate, Alario explained that he did not return because "the priorities are different, both mine and those of others." Throughout several transfer windows, there was speculation about his return to the club, but the decisions of both the player and the management prevented this from happening.
In his participation in an interview with ESPN, Alario expressed his wishes for River: "I have great affection and appreciation for River, I hope they don't do as well as us, but that they do well." Regarding his choice to join Estudiantes, he defended his decision by emphasizing that he prioritized other paths after his experience in Europe and his time at Inter in Brazil in 2024.
Now, Lucas Alario seeks to recover his best level at Estudiantes and contribute his experience to a team that has had success in recent years. Although his debut did not include goals, his promising performance is just the beginning of this new chapter in his football career. With optimism, Alario concluded: "I found a very nice club and I am happy to be here."
