Di Carlo confirms sweeping River rebuild with 15 players to leave | OneFootball

River president Stéfano Di Carlo has confirmed a major overhaul of the first-team squad and said a decision has been taken to let 15 players go in the next transfer window.

The comments come amid an internal review after a season of mixed performances. Agencia Noticias Argentinas reports that the board views a slimmer group as essential to add signings and raise competition.

Di Carlo accepted that recent displays have not fully convinced supporters and said work is already under way to bring in reinforcements. He added that strengthening the squad is a certainty during the upcoming window.

He did not name potential departures, which has intensified speculation around players who have slipped down the pecking order in recent months.

Streamlining the squad is a priority for the second half of the season, intended to reinforce the project led by the head coach.

His remarks also follow the recent capture of World Cup-winning defender Nicolás Otamendi, a signing that underlines River’s plan to marry experience and international pedigree with deep renewal.
