What will River do with Galoppo when his loan ends | OneFootball

Even without having achieved the continuity that every player needs, Giuliano Galoppo has shown that he is capable of being important for River. On loan until the end of the year from Sao Paulo, the midfielder's pass could be acquired when the current link expires, whether or not he meets the requirements for the purchase obligation included at the time of the agreement between clubs.

The clause indicates that if the former Banfield player disputes half of the year's matches, the Núñez club will have to pay 3.2 million dollars for 60% of his pass. So far, of the 40 matches that the Millonario played in 2025, he was in 23, but in only 18 did he exceed 45 minutes, necessary for it to be counted in the balance. With alternations in the first team and suspended for the first leg against Palmeiras due to expulsion, it is not unreasonable to think that he could meet the established requirements.

River has guaranteed 12 matches this year: two from the Copa Libertadores, one from the Copa Argentina and nine from the Clausura Tournament. If it advances in each tournament, it could continue to add, but, a priori, the total is 52. That is, if Galoppo plays eight more matches of those 12 and at least half of those that are added, the Millonario will be obliged to buy his pass.

Beyond this formality, the truth is that Marcelo Gallardo considers him an important footballer and wants to count on him, both for the rest of the year, as for 2026 and beyond as well. The agreement with Sao Paulo contemplates that, in case of executing that purchase obligation, Galoppo will sign a contract for three years, until 2028.

Since his arrival at the Millonario at the beginning of the year, Galoppo suffered two muscle injuries that made him be out of the call in no less than nine matches. This undermined his possibility of establishing himself as a starter, something that the Muñeco tried again in these last matches, but that he will not be able to sustain in the Copa Libertadores since he saw the red in the rematch against Libertad and will miss the first quarterfinal match against the Paulista team.

In his 23 appearances, in 15 he was from the start: he scored five goals (great figure for a midfielder) and distributed an assist. It is precisely this ability to step into the rival area one of the qualities that Gallardo values most, and that sets him apart from most of the rest of the squad's midfielders.
