Riverhand in hand with Marcelo Gallardoseeks to turn the page after a 2025 to be forgotten. After a year in which the results were not good, the coach is already working with his sights set on 2026 and on the reconstruction of the team to once again be a protagonist.
With this panorama, the world River Live hours of total uncertainty in this transfer market. What seemed to be an imminent addition to Gallardo’s team suffered an unexpected setback. This situation put at risk the arrival of what would be the third reinforcement of the season.
River looks for an alternative for a “jewel” that will not arrive
It is about Andean Santinothe young promise of Godoy Cruz, whose operation became “bogged down” and is close to collapsing due to a sudden change in its representation. The forward, who has just stood out in the U-20 World Cup, stopped being advised by Hernán Berman, an agent with close ties to River. He will join an international agency, whose priority is to place the footballer in European football. Specifically in Como, Italy.
The Italian club would be willing to pay a figure close to seven million dollars. Faced with this scenario, River’s leaders went from optimism to pessimism in a matter of hours, forcing the club to immediately activate its “Plan B.”
The name chosen by Gallardo to enhance the offensive is Tadeo Allendean attacker who has just been a figure and champion in the MLS along with Lionel Messi. Allende registered the mark of 24 goals in 54 games with Inter Miami. He resurfaced in the United States after an irregular passage through Spain. According to reports, Núñez’s club is already preparing a formal offer for 50% of his salary to ensure his arrival as soon as possible.
With the already confirmed arrivals of Fausto Vera and Aníbal Moreno, River seeks to close this front of attack to balance a squad that aspires to everything in 2026. While Andino’s option is diluted by the desire of the player’s environment to emigrate to the “Old Continent”, the “Muñeco” trusts that Allende’s international hierarchy will be the definitive leap in quality.
