Overview
- River Plate confirmed the mutual rescission of Pezzella’s contract and posted an official message thanking him for his service to the club.
- Pezzella published an emotional farewell on social media including the message “Hasta el final de nuestras vidas, los amo. Gracias” and a photo kissing the club crest.
- The defender had been training separately at River’s Cantilo complex after being excluded from Eduardo Coudet’s main squad as part of a group of about 15 players.
- Reports say Pezzella received an approach from a club in the United Arab Emirates but that negotiation did not move forward, leaving his next team undecided.
- Pezzella’s last appearance for River was the Torneo Apertura 2026 final loss to Belgrano, and several other separated players still have unresolved futures as the transfer window nears its close.
