The signing of Federico Gattoni by Sevilla FC, carried out in January 2023, is becoming a real headache for the Andalusian club. The Argentine center-back, who arrived at Nervión with the expectation of strengthening the defense, has not met expectations, neither during his brief stint in Europe nor now on loan to River Plate.
The defender was loaned to the Buenos Aires club after an agreement that ties him to River until next summer, but the situation has taken an unexpected turn. With the departure of Martín Demichelis as coach and the arrival of Marcelo Gallardo, Gattoni has taken on a completely secondary role, to the extent that River tried to cancel the loan before the market closed. However, Sevilla rejected this possibility, further complicating the outlook.

The €3.5 million purchase option agreed upon in the deal now seems distant, and Gattoni's performance has not been enough to attract the interest of European clubs. With a contract valid until 2027, Sevilla finds itself with a player whose market value continues to decline and few clear alternatives for his future.
As reported by the AS newspaper, the possibility of Gattoni joining Estudiantes de La Plata emerges as the only way to try to revalue a player who, so far, has not been able to justify the investment made by the Sevillian club.
