Overview

• Toluca will pay approximately US$3.5 million for half of Simón’s transfer rights and must purchase an additional 25% if he meets specified performance targets.
• The transfer grants River Plate an extra foreign-sale roster slot, usable until the international window closes on August 31.
• Simón, who last featured on April 23, had been separated from Marcelo Gallardo’s first-team squad for nearly four months.
• The 23-year-old midfielder is expected to sign a three-year deal with Toluca, fresh off a Liga MX title under coach Antonio 'Turco' Mohamed.
• The sale forms part of a broader squad reshuffle that includes other players, such as Matías Rojas, linked to moves abroad ahead of River’s Copa Libertadores ties.
