Since his return to River, Marcelo Gallardo has almost completely reconfigured the team and minimized the legacy of the previous cycle. Of the 17 signings that arrived with Martín Demichelis, only Facundo Colidio remains in Núñez. The forward managed to hold his place with both coaches and today is the only reinforcement from that period still in the professional squad. The imminent departure of Sebastián Boselli, headed to Getafe, completed the purge.
With the "Muñeco" in charge, River accelerated the cleanup: several names stopped being considered and left gradually, some even just a few months after arriving. Gallardo adjusted, trimmed, and rebuilt, with a clear demand and without sentimentality.
Result: new squad, cycle closed, and one exception. Colidio stays. The rest, history.
