Álex Arce to Internacional
Quiet since 21 July 2026. Last report: Felipe Silva. Probability when it went quiet: 10%.
Earlier read, written at an earlier stage of this story: Internacional are said to be moving away from Pedro Raul and looking instead at Álex Arce, the 31 year old Paraguay attacker who played at the World Cup and is now with Independiente Rivadavia. The framing is that talks are already under way, with a fee of €3m to €4m being discussed against a market value of around €4m. Arce is contracted at Independiente Rivadavia until the end of 2028, so any deal would need to persuade the Argentine club to sell a player with over two years left on his terms. The story so far rests on one voice: Felipe Silva. His post names Internacional's shift away from Pedro Raul and claims negotiations are advancing for Arce, but nothing here has been echoed by a second source yet. That leaves this very much a single-source flag rather than a confirmed story. Call this a long shot for now. For it to move forward, Internacional would need to firm up genuine interest beyond one report, agree a fee inside that €3m to €4m range, and get Independiente Rivadavia to part with a contracted asset well before his deal expires. Nothing in the file suggests any of those three boxes are yet ticked, which is why the move sits at the long odds end rather than anywhere close to done. Internacional have paid in this bracket before: they brought in a forward from Flamengo for €4m in 2024 and signed from Racing Club for €3m in 2026, so a €3m to €4m fee for Arce would sit comfortably within their recent spending pattern. Arce himself has already crossed this exact number, having moved from Independiente Rivadavia
