Marcelo Gallardo has been clear with River Plate's leadership: to compete with guarantees in the next FIFA Club World Cup, he needs reinforcements in four specific areas of the field. The coach urgently requested the arrival of a left-back, a defensive midfielder, a playmaker to connect lines, and a center forward to ensure a presence in the area. The demand is justified by the high level of the opponents and the club's ambition to be a protagonist at the international level.

River is part of a demanding group alongside Mexico's Monterrey, Italy's Inter Milan, and Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds. With this scenario, Gallardo does not want surprises or improvisations, and he expects the reinforcements to be ready before the competition begins. However, if they fail to close all transfers on time, the planning will continue with an eye on the decisive phase of the Copa Libertadores, where River is already in the round of 16 after leading its group convincingly.

River Plate aims to assemble a top-notch squad

The "millionaires" team comes from a surprising elimination in the local tournament at the hands of Platense, increasing pressure on the second semester's planning. Gallardo knows that to compete on equal terms against European or Mexican teams, they need quality and options. Therefore, each addition will aim to cover specific gaps that could make a difference in decisive moments.

The leadership now faces the challenge of acting swiftly in the market because the Club World Cup is approaching, and the margin of error is minimal. Gallardo's demand is a sign that River takes this international opportunity seriously and does not intend to just participate but to compete for everything.
