Santino Andino set for River move: what’s left to seal the deal | OneFootball

So far in the transfer market activity, River Plate has already finalized the signings of Fausto Vera and Aníbal Moreno, midfielders who come to strengthen the Millionaire team's midfield for the 2026 season, where there will be no room for error. But Marcelo Gallardo will not settle for just that.

On the contrary, those from Núñez have several open negotiations such as those of Elías Báez, Jhohan Romaña, Facundo Mura, Santino Andino, and Gianluca Prestianni, among others. In fact, some of these names are really close to joining River, aiming to set the course straight and make a strong impact both domestically and continentally.

In this context, the Millionaire 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 the Muñeco's offense. According to what BOLAVIP has learned in recent hours, the outlook looks really promising, and there are great chances 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 institutions. It only remains to define what percentage of Andino's rights Núñez will acquire. At the moment, there is talk of 50 or 60 percent of his card.

On the other hand, the 20-year-old player is in the process of changing his representative. So far, the operation has been carried out by Hernán Berman, someone who maintains a close relationship with River. This aspect is the only one that generates some doubt regarding the resolution of the operation.

Ultimately, the player, a regular in the Argentine U-20 National Team call-ups, will have to decide whether to respect what was agreed with Berman, who is still his agent, or to take a different direction and disrupt the progress made in recent weeks to wait for a formal offer from Europe.
