One of them, the most important without a doubt, was recognized by the technical secretary himself, Leonardo Ponzio.
“The market is going to make us strengthen ourselves in June. There is an open market in Europe and there are many players that we may not have because of the Olympic Games, so we have to prepare. We are trying to see with Martín (Demichelis) what can really come out because there are always players who come looking for and we have to be prepared to have an answer and reinforce a position. River always strengthens itself”acknowledged the former midfielder.
The name of German Pezzella was placed on the Millionaire’s table: “The River world dreams of a world champion who was trained here. But he has a contract, he still has one more year left, we will wait. If I will call him? I call everyone, ha.” The 32-year-old central defender plays for Betis in Spain, his contract expires in 2026 and he is a stable part of each call-up for the Argentine national team. In Europe he also played for Fiorentina, while at River Plate he wore the colors 69 times, scored five goals and gave one assist between 2011 and 2015.
The central defense is not the only position to reinforce, The offensive midfielder’s place also appears. From the leadership they know that Manuel Lanzini will certainly not continue in the club and this adds to the physical problems of Gonzalo Martínez, the footballer who is recovering from another ligament injury.
