After the end of a semester that left a lot to be desired, River is already working on building toward the next transfer window, with several fronts open and negotiations underway with various players to strengthen the squad in the best possible way, in what will be Eduardo Coudet’s first transfer window at the club.
So far, the only confirmed transfer is Nicolás Otamendi’s, with whom there is already a full agreement and who is close to signing a deal through December 2027. In fact, they are hoping to record as much video and photographic material as possible today, taking advantage of the fact that the center back is in the country.
At the same time, talks for Mauro Arambarri are ongoing, and the deal is already quite advanced at Coudet’s express request. The Núñez club hopes to make the signing of the Uruguayan Getafe midfielder a reality through a loan with an option or obligation to buy, although they are not ruling out purchasing a percentage of his rights. According to the specialized site Transfermarkt, the holding midfielder is valued at ten million euros.
But the Millionaire also wants to add options up front and has set its sights on another world champion, which is why it is already negotiating with Ángel Correa, who is in great form at Tigres in Mexico but comes with a high price tag. The former Atlético Madrid player has given the green light, and River is now figuring out how to pay for him.
Correa is not the only striker on the shortlist, as the club has also made progress for Giovanni Simeone, who is coming off a strong campaign in a Torino shirt and said he wanted to return to Argentina. The younger Simeone would be the next to arrive, and optimism is growing.
Meanwhile, there have been meetings over Thiago Almada, and although the financial engineering required is very difficult, both sides say it is not impossible.
On the other hand, several players could stop wearing the Banda in this transfer window, most notably Juan Fernando Quintero, who will make a decision once his participation in the World Cup with Colombia is over.
In addition to Juanfer, Ian Subiabre, Lautaro Rivero, Santiago Lencina, and Facundo Colidio could leave if the club receives a good offer that meets the financial needs of all parties.
Paulo Díaz, Fabricio Bustos, Germán Pezzella, Ulises Giménez, Giuliano Galoppo, Kevin Castaño, and Maximiliano Salas are among the expendable players who are not considered key pieces by Chacho and, amid a difficult footballing present, could move on.
