River Plate faces one of the most eventful transfer windows of recent years after finishing a season well below expectations. The team failed to qualify for the Copa Libertadores and will have to settle for competing in the Copa Sudamericana.

This situation has raised all alarms at Núñez and led to deep internal reflection. River Plate understands that minor adjustments are not enough, and the project requires an ambitious restructuring.

Marcelo Gallardo takes charge of the reconstruction

Marcelo Gallardo has been clear with the board since the end of the season. The coach believes that the squad has reached its peak in several positions and needs a thorough renovation. He has requested up to seven signings to compete again at the highest continental level.

The aim is not only to add names but to raise internal competitiveness and regain the lost identity. River Plate fully trusts its coach's judgment to lead this new phase. The club acknowledges that it will be a long and demanding transfer window with complex decisions.

River Plate aims to strengthen the entire defensive line

One of the main focuses of the reconstruction is on River Plate's defense. Marcelo Gallardo has requested reinforcements for both full-back positions, right and left. The lack of depth, defensive consistency, and offensive presence on the wings have been significant shortcomings.

Additionally, they are looking for a center-back who brings hierarchy, leadership, and reliability in crucial matches. River Plate needs to regain defensive solidity if they want to compete in international tournaments. The defense has been one of the most criticized areas throughout the season.

The midfield, crucial for the new River Plate

Another key target for Marcelo Gallardo is to reinforce the midfield with two signings. The coach seeks more dynamism, better ball distribution, and increased pressure after losing possession. River Plate has struggled to control games and maintain leads in many matches.

The arrival of two midfielders would allow for tactical variations and better effort management. Gallardo is looking for complementary profiles with stamina and good ball control. The midfield will be one of the areas where the revolution will be most noticeable.

Two strikers to change the attack

The attack is also part of River Plate's reconstruction plans. Marcelo Gallardo has requested the addition of two forwards to enhance offensive competition. The lack of goals in crucial moments has seriously affected the team throughout the season.

River Plate needs more decisiveness in the area and tactical alternatives in attack. They seek different profiles capable of adapting to various game contexts. The goal is not to depend on a single player and broaden the offensive resources.
