River plate He got down to work with the intention of reinforcing his squad for next season, where they hope to compete for the Copa Conmebol Libertadores title after becoming champion in Argentina. The plan is to offer the greatest number of variants to Marcelo Gallardo, who will stay for one more season at the club in order to achieve his goal.
One of the first names that would come to the club in the winter market of 2022 would be that of Leandro González Pírez, who is playing for Inter Miami in the MLS and would arrive to reinforce the defensive line where Gallardo wants to take a quality leap because he does not trust Pinola and Maidana to play against the best teams on the continent in the Copa Libertadores. David Martínez still does not confirm his continuity for the next season, although everything is on track.
An option to grow
The 29-year-old Argentine central defender was trained in the lower categories of the millionaire team until he made the leap to the first team in January 2011. Two years later he played on loan for the Belgian KAA Gent to remain in the Argentine championship on loan until who ended his contract in January 2015, where he signed with Tigre. He never finished consolidating at the club, but his recent performance has made him an interesting option for a defense that has experience but is not at the level they expect in the entity.
González Pírez would reach a loan for one year with an option to buy, taking into account that the contract with the US team ends in 3 years.
I would not arrive alone
The other name that would come to reinforce the defense is Emanuel Mammana, who is negotiating his departure with Zenit to return to River. Gallardo wants him to have more rotation.
