“Spanish fever” broke out in River, making a play on words, due to the possible incorporation of Iker Muniain, historic Athletic Bilbao player. His arrival depends on some factors but the fanaticism he has for the club, according to what they say from Spain and Argentina as well, would tip the balance.
The Spanish attacker, on the other hand, would mean for River to add a new foreign player spot and that could be a controversial issue. What happens is that the Millionaire, if he incorporates one more foreigner, will complete the available places and the truth is that in the past he tried to bring Luciano Rodrígueza 21-year-old Uruguayan forward who dazzled in the Under 23 Olympic Qualifiers.
The situation with foreign players in River
River currently has five foreign players: Miguel Borja (Colombia), Agustín Sant’Anna, Nicolás Fonseca, Sebastián Boselli (Uruguay) and Paulo Díaz (Chile). According to AFA regulations, A team can have up to six foreign players in its ranks.so the Millionaire has a place available which, if finalized, would remain in the hands of Iker Muniain.
Besides, Although there may be six men from outside, only five can sign a team sheet in the same game. If they look for Muniain, 31 years old and who spent his entire career at Athletic Bilbao but will now leave that institution free in June, Martín Demichelis’ cast will close the door to any other possible reinforcement.
How much did River offer for Luciano Rodríguez?
Along with José Manuel López, Luciano Rodríguez was one of River’s objectives in the previous transfer market. Finally neither of the two 9 could arrive but for the Uruguayan the leadership made a great effort: He even offered up to 12 million dollars for his pass, which was close to making it one of the most expensive in the history of the Greatest. Finally, Liverpool wanted to retain him for the first stage of the Copa Libertadores.
Is Alexis Sánchez an alternative?
According to the information of Uriel Iugtfrom the leadership of River They would have already started conversations with the people who manage the recent champion of the A series Alexis Sánchez to find out if he could be a reinforcement for the second phase of the Libertadores Cup.
Paulo Díaz could relieve River
What could relieve River so that it can count on Iker Muniain and also another foreigner that it wants to look for in the middle of the year, is the situation of Paulo Diaz. River has been accelerating for his citizenship since June 2022, and the Chilean has already completed the required two years living uninterruptedly and working in the country.
