👀Exodus at River: the outcasts returned to training

While head coach Eduardo Coudet leads River Plate’s preseason in Alicante, Spain, the reality in Buenos Aires is very different. The large group of professional footballers who will not be part of “Chacho’s” plans returned to training at the club’s facilities this Monday, with the sole aim of sorting out their respective departures.

The names on an uncomfortable list

Among the players called up to undergo the usual medical tests and train separately are high-profile figures such as Germán Pezzella, Fabricio Bustos, Paulo Díaz, and Maximiliano Meza. They are joined by youth players and recent signings such as Ian Subiabre, Alex Woiski, Giuliano Galoppo, Santiago Lencina, and Maximiliano Salas, who no longer have any room to change the coaching staff’s stance.

A transfer market under pressure

The main priority of the club’s board is to complete permanent transfers in order to reduce the wage bill, although so far no sale has been made official.

Meanwhile, the club’s leadership is working against the clock to secure the reinforcements requested by Coudet, after finalizing the signings of Nicolás Otamendi and Uruguayan Mauro Arambarri.
