The campaign of Paulo Diaz in River Plate It doesn’t go unnoticed by anyone. The Chilean defender has managed to carve out a permanent position in the rearguard of one of the greats of Argentina and that has caught the attention not only of millionaire fans, but also of those who move millions in Europe.
In this case, the interest in Paulo Díaz comes from his compatriot, Manuel Pellegrini. Real Betis would be closely following, and with great interest, Díaz’s campaign in beef football, since his defensive role suits him well, precisely, to his problems in the rearguard. This is at least what La Página Millionaria reported.
What does Paulo Díaz think regarding this possibility? Evidently, the journalists stationed at Juan Pinto Durán did not miss the opportunity to ask the River Plate player regarding this important follow-up from Europe, although, like a good defender, he cleared the ball well away.
“Right now I am focused on River and the national team. Manuel Pellegrini is a great coach, but I am not focused on the transfer market, that will be seen in the future,” Díaz responded to the question.
A very good time in Argentina
The option for Paulo Díaz to leave for Europe is not a coincidence, but rather responds to his good level at River Plate, especially so far this year. Led by Martín Demichelis, the former Colo Colo and Palestino has already played 29 games in 2023, registering a goal in 2,390 minutes of play.
But, of course, it is not only his 2023 performance that draws the Engineer’s attention. The Chilean, who joined Núñez’s squad in 2019, has won important trophies during his stay at the club: he won the 2019 Argentine Cup, the 2019/20 Super Cup, the 2021 Professional League, the 2021 Champions Trophy and the Professional League 2023. Your CV is bloated.
It is worth mentioning that River Plate owns 70% of Paulo Díaz’s transfer, for which it paid 3,750,000 euros in mid-2021 following playing for Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia in 2018-19.

The match with Venezuela
What called Paulo Díaz, however, were not the rumors that link him with Betis, but the Chilean team’s next match once morest Venezuela. The River Plate defender called not to trust once morest Vinotinto, despite the favorable track record, historically, for La Roja.
“History is something in the past and what matters is the present. We played a great game once morest Peru and we want to do the same once morest Venezuela, where we have the opportunity to take revenge for the last defeat there,” said the former Colo Colo, referring to Chile’s last (and for the moment only) loss once morest the Vinotinto in the lands of Simón Bolívar.
“The matches today are much more fought and difficult in South America. It is difficult to go to win there in Venezuela, because of the heat and humidity. It is a climate that we are not used to. It will be a difficult duel, but it will be important. He is a direct rival,” reflected Díaz, who once morest Peru had to occupy the right wing for a while, a position that he previously used in San Lorenzo.
