River exodus: all players farewelled online except Federico Gattoni

River is in the midst of a profound squad restructuring process. In recent hours, emotional farewells have been made to key figures and heroes of the institution, such as Enzo Pérez, Nacho Fernández, Pity Martínez, and Milton Casco, along with Miguel Ángel Borja. However, amid the exodus, there was one name that went practically unnoticed by the club's social media and official communication: Federico Gattoni.

The defender, whose loan ends at the end of the year and must return to Sevilla in Spain, became the only player who was "ignored" in the public tributes. While the other mentioned players received individual posts, Gattoni did not have any special mention from the Millonario.

Gattoni's presence was only noted on the club's official website. There, River published an article titled "Players whose contracts with the Club are ending", where the treatment given to the defender was brief and somewhat formal.

The former San Lorenzo defender was mentioned only in the last paragraph of the text, with a simple phrase: "Federico Gattoni played seven matches for River; his loan with the Club will end, and he will return to Sevilla." The note also had a space that differentiated the player from the rest: it did not include a photo of Gattoni on the cover, making him the only departing player not to appear in the image.

Gattoni's Silent Farewell

This contrast is accentuated by the way the player himself chose to say goodbye to Núñez. Far from the spotlight of the key figures, Gattoni used his social media to express gratitude for his time at the club with a unique photograph: posing with the institution's Medical Staff. "What a pleasure it was to work with this team of professionals and, above all, good people," expressed the central defender, clearly showing his gratitude towards the support staff.
