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

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

With less noise than at Boca, Marcelo Gallardo led a squad clean-up at River that, little by little, saw each of the targeted players depart one by one. The arrival of four new signings plus the returns of Sebastián Boselli and Lautaro Rivero helped solidify the new group, and those who were left out finally found new clubs.

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 now 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 mandatory purchase clause 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 significant role in Gallardo’s team. He played only 7 matches, totaling 200 minutes, and did not register any goals or assists.

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

Matías Rojas

He terminated his contract after playing very little in just eight months and continued his career at Portland Timbers. Since he was under contract with River until December, he was one of the squad’s higher earners, had no playing time, and also took up a foreign player slot, so both parties agreed that terminating the contract was the best solution. During his brief time at River, he played just 148 minutes across eight matches.

Adam Bareiro

Fortaleza, which recently hired Martín Palermo as coach in an attempt 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 1 million for the loan, so the Millonario will practically recover its investment in him. So far, things have not gone well: he missed a penalty and has not 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, with a mandatory purchase of another percentage based on performance objectives.

Manuel Lanzini

When it seemed he would be left without playing for several 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 eligible 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 was able to arrange his departure from River with his transfer rights in hand and signed a one-year contract with Fatih Karagümrük, in Turkey.
