Overview

- Marcelo Gallardo left Dadín out of the senior preseason, and he had been training with the reserves before the move.
- Dadín chose Independiente Rivadavia over Sarmiento de Junín to gain 2026 Copa Libertadores experience, which the Mendoza club secured by winning the 2025 Copa Argentina.
- He remains under contract with River until December 2028 with a €100 million release clause that rises 20% late in each transfer window.
- River adopted the heavy clause after Franco Mastantuono departed for Real Madrid in 2025 by triggering a €45 million release clause.
