So far in the transfer market activity, River Plate has already finalized the signings of Fausto Vera and Aníbal Moreno, midfielders who arrive to strengthen the Millonario’s midfield ahead of a 2026 season in which there will be no room for error. But Marcelo Gallardo will not be satisfied with just that.

On the contrary, the team from Núñez has several ongoing negotiations, such as those for Elías Báez, Jhohan Romaña, Facundo Mura, Santino Andino, Gianluca Prestianni, and others. In fact, some of these names are really close to joining River, with the aim of getting back on track and regaining strength both domestically and internationally.

With that in mind, the Millonario has been negotiating for several weeks for Andino, a young but talented player from Godoy Cruz de Mendoza who could become a very good option for Muñeco’s offense. According to what BOLAVIP has learned in recent hours, the outlook is truly encouraging and there is a great chance that the story will have a happy ending.

To begin with, it should be noted that negotiations between River and Godoy Cruz are very advanced, so everything seems to indicate that no new obstacles will arise between the clubs. The only thing left to define is what percentage of Andino’s rights the Núñez side would acquire. At the moment, there is talk of either 50% or 60% of his rights.

On the other hand, the 20-year-old player is in the process of changing his agent. Until now, the deal was being handled by Hernán Berman, someone who maintains a close relationship with River. This is the only aspect that raises some doubts regarding the resolution of the deal.

In short, the player, a regular in the Argentina U-20 national team call-ups, will have to decide whether to honor the agreement with Berman, who is still his agent, or to make a drastic change and undo the progress made in recent weeks to wait for a formal offer from Europe.
