River Plate plans exits as San Lorenzo targets Iker Muniain for coach

River Plate continues to restructure its squad as it moves toward the departure of offensive midfielder Maximiliano Meza, who is close to returning to Independiente on a free transfer after the club is expected to rescind his contract. The club is also evaluating an offer from Brazil's Athletico Paranaense for forward Maximiliano Salas, proposed as a loan with a future purchase option.

Meanwhile, San Lorenzo is in advanced negotiations to appoint former player Iker Muniain as head coach following the recent exit of Gustavo Álvarez. After Ramón Díaz declined the role, the club’s board held a formal meeting with Muniain, who is seen as a strong candidate to restore the team’s identity and competitiveness.

Both moves reflect a broader reshuffling in Argentine football as clubs seek new directions on and off the pitch.
