River tie down Tomás Galván: new deal, huge release clause | OneFootball

The Millionaire made the decision to extend the midfielder’s contract, a regular starter in Coudet’s plans.

River continues with its goal of protecting its best players as well as its young prospects. In the middle of that scenario, in recent hours the club moved decisively to renew the contract of Tomás Galván, an attacking midfielder who has earned a privileged place in Eduardo Coudet’s plans.

Although a few details still need to be finalized, everything is ready for the 26-year-old footballer, a native of El Talar in the province of Buenos Aires, to extend his deal with the club from the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Núñez. Without a doubt, very good news for Chacho and for all River fans.

Barring any unforeseen issues, the official announcement of Galván’s contract extension with River will be made in the coming days. In this way, the former Defensa y Justicia, Colón, Tigre, and Vélez Sarsfield player, whose deal had run until December 2026, will extend it by two more seasons. That is, until December 2028.

At the same time, Galván, who officially debuted in a River shirt back in May 2021, right in the middle of the Superclásico against Boca at La Bombonera, amid a massive COVID outbreak that affected the first-team squad, will have a release clause of no less than 100 million dollars. A trend that remains in place.

It is no minor detail that, upon returning from his loan spell at Vélez, Galván’s stay at River was in doubt. However, due to the lack of top-level players and in the face of a difficult transfer market, the midfielder ended up being taken into account by Marcelo Gallardo. Later, that reality was confirmed under Coudet.

Progressively, Tomás Galván’s importance to River’s first team has grown. To the point that, at present, he forms an almost automatic midfield trio with Fausto Vera and Aníbal Moreno. He even tends to get the fans’ approval.

Galván’s numbers at River

Tomás Galván has recorded two goals and one assist in 28 official matches wearing the River shirt. At the same time, the midfielder was part of River’s two official title wins: the Liga Profesional and the Trofeo de Campeones, both in 2021.
