Marcelo Gallardo, current coach of River Plate, has set his sights on Rodrigo Echeverría, a Chilean defender who has been playing for Huracán since mid-2023. As reported by TNT Sports, the "Muñeco" has directly requested the River Plate board to start negotiations to incorporate the center-back, who has become a cornerstone of his team in the Argentine Professional League.

Echeverría, 29 years old, has a valid contract with Huracán until 2026, which could complicate any potential deal. Nevertheless, Gallardo's insistence on adding him to his squad indicates that the coach views the player as a key piece to strengthen his defensive line for future challenges, both domestically and internationally.

Defense is Gallardo's top priority at River

The Chilean defender has stood out for his leadership, versatility, and aerial game solidity, qualities that have caught the eye of the River Plate coach. Moreover, his experience as an international with the Chilean national team adds an extra value to his profile, making him a priority target for Gallardo's sporting project.

Currently, there are no details available about a formal offer from River Plate, but Gallardo's intent could expedite discussions between the two clubs. The upcoming transfer window could be crucial for Echeverría to make the leap to the Núñez team.
