Lucas Martínez Quarta saw action with the Argentine National Team after missing the 2022 World Cup and being somewhat relegated in Lionel Scaloni's consideration, who had him as a staple for the years 2019/2020 and part of 2021. The River Plate product is also establishing himself as one of Fiorentina's pillars, which is why Premier League teams are interested in him.
The team that would be willing to acquire his services, according to information from Calcio Mercante, is West Ham, where Manuel Lanzini played until mid-this year. The truth is that the offer that arrives to leave the Italian club would be around 25 million euros, and River Plate would receive a good amount of money if this happens.
Firstly, it should be noted that River Plate no longer even has a percentage of Martínez Quarta's transfer, as it sold 85% of it to Fiorentina. The other 15% belonged to Kimberley, which also developed him from the ages of 12 to 16, when he joined River Plate. The truth is that both that team from Mar del Plata and Argentinos del Sud, his first club, will receive 1.5% of a possible transfer of the defender.
In this way, River Plate's share of Martínez Quarta is 3.5% of the 25 million euros that his transfer could be worth. This would represent around 714,000 gross euros that will remain in the club's coffers. His good performance this season consists of six league games played and two goals scored; three games in the Coppa Italia and two in the Conference League.
Lucas Beltrán continues to struggle at Fiorentina
When he was sold in 2020, Martínez Quarta left approximately 12 million euros in River Plate's coffers from Fiorentina. On the other hand, the Italian club agreed to a figure close to 18 million of the same currency for Lucas Beltrán. And while the defender is a key player and could leave, the forward is still struggling.
The former River Plate player has not been able to score goals and has played eleven matches. However, the coach has only used him as a starter in four games and he has completed the full 90 minutes only in one, which makes it clear that he is not a priority. Maybe, like Nico González, he will get more playing time for the next semester.
