Buenos Aires, November 27 (NA) -- Following the end of the season, River Plate has begun making moves in the market and is already evaluating reinforcements for several positions with the objective of renewing the team's dynamics and increasing competitiveness for the upcoming year. According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the management and technical staff agree on the need to sign players who can change the squad's momentum and raise the internal competitiveness, especially after an irregular first half of the year that left clear signals about areas for improvement. In defense, the first name to appear on the millionaire's radar is left-back Román Vega, currently at Zenit St. Petersburg. The player, with a past at Argentinos Juniors, is highly regarded for his offensive projection, speed, and ability to adapt to both a four-man line and a system with wing-backs. "Millionaire" is evaluating the terms of a possible negotiation and understands that his arrival could provide immediate solutions to a sector that had ups and downs throughout the year. In midfield, the search is for a player with a change of pace, individual dribbling ability, and resolution in the final third. The management is closely monitoring his contractual situation with Bayer Leverkusen and is assessing the possibility of a loan for the next season. In attack, they are also working to repatriate Luciano Gondou, another player who currently plays for Zenit and is going through a period of limited competitive minutes. The forward, who had a great performance in Argentine football before his departure, is seen as an ideal alternative to add power, mobility, and rotation to the front line. His situation in Russia could facilitate a negotiation, although the club remains cautious until initial conversations are advanced. Lastly, in central midfield, the goal is to sign at least one more piece that can provide balance, intensity, and recovery. With this profile, the name of Claudio "El Diablito" Echeverri has gained strength, who could return to the club after his departure to Manchester City. His return is viewed with enthusiasm, as his talent, his training in the youth academy, and his connection with the club's historic style make him a high-impact reinforcement. Although no concrete names have been revealed, the board is focused on analyzing options both in the local and foreign markets. The intention is for the team to reach the next campaign with a stronger base, greater depth on the bench, and a squad prepared to compete on all fronts. With this outlook, River is in full planning and expects to take the first firm steps in the coming weeks to strategically reinforce each sector of the pitch.
