Overview
- Multiple reports published Tuesday and Wednesday say River has firmly decided not to reintegrate Matías Galarza into the professional squad and will pursue a transfer.
- Galarza rose to prominence at the 2026 World Cup, scoring the winner against Turkey and playing a decisive role in Paraguay’s victory over Germany.
- He is currently on loan at Atlanta United, which did not meet the minutes threshold to trigger a conditional $3 million purchase for 50% of his rights.
- River expects his World Cup form to boost offers and is monitoring interest from clubs such as Cruzeiro while reportedly placing a high asking price.
- If no transfer is completed after the tournament, Galarza is set to return to Buenos Aires and train with the group of players the coaching staff do not consider, despite calls from fans for another chance.
