Transfer market red-hot: River seal Otamendi, 2nd top signing close

River Plate is accelerating in the transfer market after a first half of the year marked by inconsistency, which included the departure of Marcelo Gallardo, the arrival of Eduardo Coudet, and defeat in the Torneo Clausura final. The club’s board is seeking a major squad overhaul and has already secured its first big new signings.
