River Plate paid €8.0m for Maximiliano Salas. Against the club's own history of paying for forwards, that is the 2nd largest such fee on record.
| Player | From | Fee | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sebastián Driussi | Austin | €9.8m | 2024/25 |
| Teófilo Gutiérrez | CD Cruz Azul | €4.8m | 2013/14 |
| Facundo Colidio | Inter | €4.4m | 2023/24 |
| Pablo Solari | Colo-Colo | €4.2m | 2022/23 |
| Adam Bareiro | San Lorenzo | €4.2m | 2024/25 |
| Rafael Borré | Atlético | €3.5m | 2017/18 |
A club's own precedent is the only fair yardstick for whether a fee is a departure for it. A number that looks enormous league-wide can be routine for one buyer, and a modest one can be a record for another.
