BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- River Plate striker Lucas Pratto is poised to join Dutch side Feyenoord on a six-month loan, the Buenos Aires club said on Monday.
The 32-year-old is due to arrive in the Netherlands on Tuesday to undergo a medical and finalize personal terms.
"He asked us to accept the request so that he can continue his career there," River sporting director Enzo Francescoli told local television.
"It's a part of football. Argentina is going through a tough time and the players also need to be listened to. Nobody wants to see him go but in this world you have to make decisions. Maybe we'll regret it but it's what Lucas wants.
Pratto, who has been capped five times for Argentina's national team, has scored just four goals in 31 matches across all competitions for River Plate this year. Enditem
