River is closing a dream pass market: it added seven reinforcements and is excited to fight in the Copa Libertadores.
We review which players arrived and what role these signings will have in Marcelo Gallardo’s team.
Mammana resigned a lot of money in Russia, was left with the pass in his possession and arrived as a free player. His last club was Zochi. He will be an alternative for Gallardo in defense, but he did not participate in the friendlies and runs from behind.

Juan Fernando Quintero arrived with the pass in his possession and River only has to take charge of his contract. His last club was Shenzhen from China.
A player who knows the house, who is one of the most talented in Argentine football and who will be able to contribute his entire hierarchy. He can be the footballer who enters in the second half and modifies the games that the team cannot unlock.

Esequiel Barco arrived on loan from Atlanta United with a $7 million purchase option for 50% of the transfer. He is an unbalanced player, who has a lot of skill and who can be decisive with his dribbles. He will bring his freshness and has the conditions to earn a place. He will compete for a place with José Paradela and Nicolás de la Cruz.
Tomás Pochettino made his unofficial debut with River Plate and has already left details of his great quality.
It already adapts to the River de Gallardo.

Tomás Pochettino arrived on loan for a year from Austin from MLS. He is a midfielder with the characteristics that Marcelo Gallardo likes. He stands out for his ability to assist and will seek to be the link between the midfield and the attackers. He has reached the goal and has everything to shine. He arrives at a position that has several players and must fight for a position.
✅ Interesting debut of Elías Gómez in #River. Deployment, overflow, sacrifice, good footing and a strong personality to demonstrate the conditions that he showed in Central and Argentinos. He played as if he had many games on him. More than approved. pic.twitter.com/Qkhx5jGjmS

River paid Argentinos Juniors $1.5 million for 70% of the left-back’s record. He arrives to replace Fabrizio Angileri, who did not renew his contract and will be released in June. He stands out for his back and forth and his role in attacking. It is a fundamental characteristic for the team and Marcelo Gallardo can enhance it. He should improve on the brand.

Leandro González Pirez arrived on loan from Inter Miami of the MLS for two years and the cost is 1.8 million dollars. In his debut against Platense he was seen very differently from the version that had left River. It will be one of the variants that the coach will have in defense and can be important for the replacement. The Paulo Díaz-David Martínez duo is very solid, but a year with many games is coming.
From here we bank a lot on the arrival of Andrés “El Yacaré” Herrera and even more so if it was an explicit request from Gallardo. Good luck @andreherreraa4.pic.twitter.com/pdSd0GM9rr

Andrés Herrera was one of the most requested players by Gallardo. He will be able to contribute to his deployment on the right wing and can be fundamental in the coach’s scheme. He stands out more for the task of him when it comes to attack than in the retreat when it is necessary to defend. They paid San Lorenzo 2.5 million dollars for 70 percent of the pass
