Gallardo leaves out Tobías Leiva, loaned to Estudiantes de Río Cuarto | OneFootball

River has reached a verbal agreement with Estudiantes de Río Cuarto to loan out Tobías Leiva, a 21-year-old midfielder who returned from his stint at Aldosivi but will not be considered by Marcelo Gallardo for the 2026 season. The midfielder will continue his career with the Córdoba-based team, which was recently promoted to the First Division.

Leiva had a year of consistent play with the Tiburón, where he appeared in 23 matches between the local tournament and the Copa Argentina, totaling 1,137 minutes, scoring two goals, and providing one assist. Despite that experience, the Millonario coach chose not to include him in the squad, having filled the midfield vacancies with the additions of Fausto Vera and Aníbal Moreno.

In this way, the player who came up through Núñez will look to gain minutes and prominence with the León del Imperio, which continues to strengthen its squad ahead of its return to the top tier of Argentine football.
