See where each player dropped by Gallardo at River ended up playing 👀 | OneFootball

All the footballers whom Muñeco informed would not be considered for the second half of the season, after much uncertainty, have found new destinations. Where are they playing now? Check out the list.

With less noise than at Boca, Marcelo Gallardo led a squad cleanup at River that, little by little, saw each of the chosen ones depart. The arrival of four new signings, plus the returns of Sebastián Boselli and Lautaro Rivero, helped consolidate the new group, and those who were left out finally found new teams.

Gonzalo Tapia, Leandro González Pirez, Rodrigo Aliendro, Matías Rojas, Adam Bareiro, Santiago Simón, Manuel Lanzini, and Matías Kranevitter, each in their own time, left River Camp and began a new chapter in their careers. Below, a look at where they are currently after leaving Núñez.

Gonzalo Tapia

The Millonario loaned the striker from the national team to São Paulo (he has already scored a goal) for 18 months, with a purchase obligation based on objectives to be met, for 2 million dollars. The player arrived as a free agent from Universidad Católica at the start of 2025, although he never played a prominent role in Gallardo’s team. He played only 7 matches, totaling 200 minutes, and did not score or assist.

Leandro González Pírez

The defender left River after the Club World Cup and quickly reached an agreement with Estudiantes de La Plata, the club where he began his second stint after a brief loan spell almost 10 years ago. He signed a contract for the next two years, is a starter in Eduardo Domínguez’s team, and has scored two goals.

Rodrigo Aliendro

After a negotiation that dragged on, the midfielder signed with Vélez until December 2027 and was announced with great fanfare on the social media of his new team, where he has already established himself as a starter and shown he is still in top form.

Matías Rojas

He terminated his contract after playing very little—just eight months—and continued his career at Portland Timbers. Since he was under contract with River until December, he was one of the higher salaries in the squad, had no playing time, and also occupied a foreign player slot. Both parties agreed that terminating the contract was the best solution. During his short stay at River, he played only 148 minutes across eight games.

Adam Bareiro

Fortaleza, which recently hired Martín Palermo as coach to try to avoid relegation, paid 1.8 million dollars for 50% of the player’s rights and will pay another 1.7 million if certain objectives are met. In addition, the Qatari club paid a million dollars for the loan, so the Millonario will almost recover what was invested in him. So far, things haven’t gone his way: he missed a penalty and hasn’t scored in 9 matches.

Santiago Simón

Separated from the squad after the Club World Cup, where he didn’t play a single minute, his new destination was Toluca, in Mexico, which paid 3.5 million dollars for 50% of his rights and has a purchase obligation for another percentage, based on the achievement of certain objectives.

Manuel Lanzini

When it seemed he would be left without playing for these months, River and Vélez reached an agreement for him to move to Liniers at zero cost. The midfielder signed a contract until December 2026 and, since his departure was not as a free agent, he was cleared to play in all competitions. In fact, he has already made his debut under Guillermo Barros Schelotto.

Matías Kranevitter

He was the last outcast remaining, and his situation looked complicated. However, he managed to arrange his exit from River with his transfer rights in hand and signed a one-year contract with Fatih Karagümrük, from Turkey.
