River’s great obsession for this year will be to win the Copa Libertadores and Martín Demichelis’ squad could have some additions in mid-2024. But at the same time, in that transfer market, You have to be very attentive to the players whose contracts expire at the end of December because those players could negotiate with any club to leave free.
Only two River players have a contract until December 2024
Currently, there are only two Millonario players with a link until December: Gonzalo Martínez and Claudio Echeverri. In the case of the first, he arrived at River in mid-2023 and signed for a year and a half with the great objective of becoming champion of America again. However, he could not even start the current edition of the Libertadores due to the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.
Although he played little time at the club since his return, Anyone can imagine that if he is in good physical and football terms, at 30 years old Pity will want to remain linked to the club that gave him so much joy, especially in 2018. His return is planned for August or September, but it will depend on his evolution.
Will Echeverri stay another year at River?
A different situation occurs with Claudio Echeverri18-year-old player with a contract signed for Manchester City after his sale to the English club and whose services he provides to River while on loan. Being a case similar to that of Julián Álvarez (he stays at Millonario for a while longer despite being sold), the player’s entourage would evaluate trying to stay one more year in Argentina.
What happens is that the health of Diablito’s mother is not well and the footballer would choose to try to stay in the country knowing that he will not have a place in England as soon as he leaves and could be loaned to Girona in Spain. Matías Patanian, vice president of River, was forceful about this possibility: “The only truth is what is signed (that he will leave at the beginning of 2025) and we must respect that.”
