River Plate loans Salas to Independiente Rivadavia

Entities: Maximiliano Salas · Independiente Rivadavia · River Plate · Alfredo Berti · Huracán

Overview

In late July 2026, Independiente Rivadavia announced that striker Maximiliano Salas would join the club on a 12‑month loan from River Plate, coinciding with the renewal of head coach Alfredo Berti’s contract until 2028. The club highlighted Salas’s arrival as a boost for its upcoming Copa Libertadores campaign.

A few days later, River Plate confirmed the loan, stating that Salas would move to Independiente Rivadavia without a fee or purchase option. The club also disclosed a season‑long loan of 20‑year‑old midfielder Santiago Lencina to Spain’s Burgos CF, including a purchase option for Burgos and a buy‑back clause for River. Both moves were presented as part of River’s strategy to give fringe players regular playing time and streamline its squad.
