River Plate plans major squad turnover amid transfer market

River Plate announced a wide‑scale reshuffle of its squad, with club president Stefano Di Carlo confirming that around 15 players will leave during the current transfer window. Defender Paulo Díaz, whose contract runs to December 2027 and carries one of the highest salaries at the club, has been linked with a move to Talleres de Córdoba. His dual Argentine‑Chile nationality means he does not count against foreign‑player limits, but a transfer would require a significant wage reduction.

European interest exists in striker Lautaro Rivero, with Dutch side Feyenoord reportedly ready to offer €6‑7 million. River’s sporting direction, under newly appointed coach Jorge Sampaoli, is focused on replacing departing players while retaining core figures such as Martínez Quarta and Tobías Ramírez. Other potential exits include Kevin Castaño, Fabricio Bustos, Giuliano Galoppo and others identified by sporting director Pablo Longoria.
