Peña Biafore leaves River, unveiled as new Ferro signing | OneFootball

Leandro Peña Biafore is no longer a River player and will continue his career at Ferro Carril Oeste. The 22-year-old defender agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent with the club, became a free agent, and has already been officially presented by the Caballito team.

The footballer was not in Marcelo Gallardo’s plans since his return to the country and was not going to have a place in the squad for the 2026 season. After completing a lengthy recovery from a knee injury, he rejoined the Reserve team in October, although it quickly became clear that he would not be considered for the First Team.

Peña Biafore had returned to River at the beginning of 2025 after a brief stint with Elche Ilicitano, the Spanish club’s reserve team, where he again suffered physical problems and was unable to get consistent playing time. With an overcrowded defense and no real opportunities, both parties agreed that it was best to seek a way out.

In this context, Ferro appeared and signed him as a free agent. “Leandro Peña Biafore is a Ferro player. The central defender signed a contract until December 2027,” announced the verdolaga club. Thus, the center-back begins a new chapter in the lower division, aiming to get more minutes on the field and relaunch his professional career.
