The 3 signings that River Plate is preparing for the Club World Cup

River Plate has already laid out its three major goals for the upcoming transfer market with a clear objective: to arrive at the 2025 Club World Cup with a top-notch squad. Nicolás Tagliafico, Guido Rodríguez, and Lucas Beltrán are the players that Marcelo Gallardo has set his sights on to strengthen a team that has yet to find the expected consistency in the Argentine league, despite a promising start in the Copa Libertadores.

The club's board is aware that next year's international demands require proven quality. Therefore, the aim is to target players who not only understand what it means to compete in Europe but have also been key parts of the Argentine national team. Tagliafico's defensive experience, Rodríguez's midfield solidity, and Beltrán's goal-scoring potential align with the profile sought by the River Plate coach.

The previous market had already been ambitious, with names like Montiel, Enzo Pérez, and Martínez Quarta returning to Núñez. However, the lack of effectiveness in the local league has raised some alarms. Gallardo knows that, to compete on equal terms against heavyweight rivals in the World Cup, his squad needs more quality and balance.

In this context, the potential arrival of Beltrán would be key to solving offensive issues, while Rodríguez emerges as Enzo Pérez's natural successor. Tagliafico, on the other hand, would provide security on the left flank, an area where Acuña has not managed to establish himself. With these additions, River Plate would not only aim for immediate impact but also to leave a lasting international mark.
