River Plate has taken a firm step in the transfer market and has practically sealed the arrival of Aníbal Moreno. The Argentine club has reached an agreement with Palmeiras to finalize the signing of the 26-year-old midfielder for a figure close to 6.4 million euros.

The deal, which already has a verbal understanding between both institutions, will be formalized in the coming days. At River Plate, they consider that the signing is a clear response to a need following a season below expectations.

River Plate bets on Aníbal Moreno to strengthen the midfield

The name of Aníbal Moreno has been on River Plate's radar for some time. His profile fits Marcelo Gallardo's idea, who is looking for greater balance, intensity, and order in the team's central zone.

The coaching staff understands that the signing of Aníbal Moreno brings international experience and competitive knowledge after several seasons in Brazilian football with Palmeiras.

The agreed figure, 6.4 million euros, aligns with what Palmeiras paid Racing to acquire the player at the end of 2023, an operation that the Brazilian club considers balanced.

Aníbal Moreno's journey at Palmeiras

During his time at Palmeiras, Aníbal Moreno played 117 official matches and was part of the squad that won the Paulista Championship in 2024, adding an important title to his career.

However, his prominence decreased in the last season. The midfielder entered Abel Ferreira's rotation but was relegated to the bench in several decisive matches.

Even in the final of the Copa Libertadores, Aníbal Moreno did not play, a situation that accelerated his departure from Palmeiras and facilitated the agreement with River Plate.

A signing marked by the sporting context

At River Plate, they interpret that the timing is ideal to complete this signing. The club needs immediate responses after being left out of the upcoming edition of the Copa Libertadores.

The arrival of Aníbal Moreno adds to the loan of Fausto Vera from Atlético-MG, confirming that River Plate has focused on the Brazilian market to strengthen, as reported by Flashscore.

The goal is clear: to rebuild a competitive team that can once again compete for titles both locally and internationally.

River Plate and a focus on regaining prominence

The management of River Plate understands that the last season raised alarm signals. Hence, the signing of Aníbal Moreno is part of a broader plan.

Gallardo is looking for players with pace, tactical awareness, and the ability to handle the pressure of a club like River Plate. In that sense, Aníbal Moreno's spell at Palmeiras adds value.

Furthermore, his age and experience allow for immediate performance without the need for lengthy adaptation periods.

Palmeiras, calm after closing the deal

At Palmeiras, they are taking the departure calmly. The Brazilian club was not in urgent need financially and has only made a significant move in this transfer window.

So far, Palmeiras has only completed the permanent purchase of Bruno Fuchs, a defender who was on loan from Atlético-MG and was acquired for five million euros.

The sale of Aníbal Moreno allows them to maintain financial balance without altering the main structure of the squad.

A key signing for the new River Plate

Everything indicates that Aníbal Moreno will become an important piece in River Plate's new project. His arrival covers a sensitive area on the field and provides immediate solutions.

In Núñez, they trust that the signing will help restore solidity, consistency, and competitive spirit, aspects that were lacking in crucial moments of the last season.

If no setbacks arise, River Plate will soon announce the incorporation of Aníbal Moreno, a move that marks the beginning of an ambitious reconstruction phase.
