River Plate want Pit-Bull

River Plate president Jose Maria Aguilar has claimed the club could sign veteran Dutch midfielder Edgar Davids.

Aguilar said that he had spoken to the 36-year-old, a free agent after leaving Ajax last year, about the possibility of signing with the Argentinian giants.

"I had a meeting with Davids and we talked about football in general and the chance of creating a partnership between his foundation and River," Aguilar told the Clarin newspaper.

"Obviously, we also talked about the possibility of him playing for River. Today it is very complicated because we have to build a strategy to do it, but there is a chance ahead of the next tournament."
