River Plate are hoping to reinforce their squad with plenty of quality this season, and according to reports are in negotiations with Ajax Amsterdam's former Dutch international Edgar Davids.
Apparently the 35-year-old is a keen follower of Argentine football, and is interested in a move to River Plate. Reports indicate that the defensive midfielder could join the Buenos Aires giants for one year.
With a good deal, Davids would jump at a move to the club. He is hoping to end his career in Argentina, and his preferred choice would be River.
Davids, who was born in Suriname, South America, has been out of action for many months, due to injury, but he is motivated to return to professional football this year.
River boss, Nestor Gorosito, affirmed that he is searching for an established defensive midfielder, but he has yet to reveal that this could be Davids.
Since making his professional debut with Ajax in 1991, Davids went on to play for European giants AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, and Inter Milan. Prior to his return to Ajax, he played for Tottenham Hotspur.
