In the midst of preseason in San Martín de los Andes, Aníbal Moreno and Fausto Vera broke their silence and explained why they chose River, how their contact with Marcelo Gallardo went, and what the coach asked of them looking ahead to 2026.

Moreno was the first to speak, one of the main targets for Muñeco in recent transfer windows. The midfielder admitted that he didn't hesitate and even pushed to speed up the negotiations: “It was an easy decision. I demanded that it be done quickly because I was convinced”, he told TyC Sports. He also highlighted his conversation with Gallardo and the style of play: a team that takes the initiative, keeps possession, and applies high pressure.

Fausto Vera echoed the same sentiment. The former Argentinos player explained that River reappeared at a key moment and that the coach's call was decisive: “With this coach and this badge, I didn't hesitate”. He also emphasized the intensity of the training sessions and his willingness to adapt to different positions in the midfield.

Two reinforcements, one message: firm decision, total conviction, and a project that has already begun with Gallardo’s imprint. River adds new names and is starting to take shape.
