Overview
- River finalized the return of Rafael Santos Borré and completed the signing of Giovanni González, with multiple outlets reporting the moves late in the weekend.
- The Borré deal is reported at about $2.5 million and includes a player concession on salary to make the transfer possible for the next three seasons.
- River reached a club-to-club agreement with Fiorentina to buy 50% of Lucas Beltrán for a figure above $7 million, but the transfer remains conditional on the player's acceptance.
- Giovanni González, a 31-year-old Uruguayan with Peñarol, Mallorca and international experience, is expected to provide right-back versatility and cover for Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuña.
- The club remains active in the market after earlier signings of Nicolás Otamendi and Mauro Arambarri and continues to pursue attackers and a central defender to complete the squad.
