"According to SPORT, Barcelona even submitted a formal offer of around 10 million euros for Subiabre before ultimately signing Roony Bardghji, whose lower transfer fee made him an attractive option for immediate impact for the team. Sources close to the club reportedly say the board had long been searching for a young, left-footed winger with technical ability, and Subiabre fit the profile perfectly. While Bardghji became a priority due to Deco's personal interest, Subiabre remains on the radar as a potential long-term reinforcement."
"Despite interest from Europe's top clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool, Subiabre recently renewed his contract with River Plate until December 2028, according to Clarín. The agreement includes a release clause of 100 million euros, which shows the club's effort to protect its emerging talents from premature departures. Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapia was said to be involved in facilitating the deal and allowing the player to participate in the U20 World Cup in Chile. The youngster scored two goals in that tournament, with Argentina finishing second."
Barcelona continues to scout young talent globally and identified 18-year-old Ian Subiabre, a left-footed winger from River Plate, as a technical prospect capable of playing on both flanks and scoring. The club reportedly made an offer near €10 million before opting for Roony Bardghji, whose lower fee and Deco's interest accelerated his signing. Subiabre remains a long-term target despite interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. River Plate extended Subiabre’s contract to December 2028 with a €100 million release clause, facilitated in part by Claudio Tapia, and the player scored twice at the U20 World Cup.
