With an eye on the Club World Cup, River Plate is preparing to make a statement in the upcoming June transfer market. Marcelo Gallardo, recently confirmed as the strategist leading the team in the international tournament, aims to build a squad with quality that allows them to compete on equal footing against heavyweight rivals such as Inter Milan, Monterrey, and Urawa Reds, who they will share Group E with.
The 4 signings River Plate wants to make for the Club World Cup
The board is already working to meet the coach's wishes, and several important names are being considered. One of the main targets is Ángel Correa, the forward from Atlético Madrid whose contract expires this summer. At 30 years old, the Rosario-born attacker is seriously considering a return to his home country and would welcome the opportunity to wear River's shirt again in a global tournament.
Another player who could return to the club is Lucas Beltrán. The forward, currently in Europe, has a close relationship with River Plate and his possible comeback is being evaluated. His recent performances in international competitions make him a solid option to strengthen the attack.
In addition, the midfield could welcome Guido Rodríguez, who isn't getting playing time at West Ham and sees River as an ideal opportunity to revive his career. In defense, left-back Lucas Esquivel is also a target to bolster the left flank, considering the demanding rotation required by the international calendar.
Gallardo's plan aims high, and there are dreams in Núñez of a competitive team that can vie for the title. The transfer market will be crucial, and River has already begun to move decisively.
