The center-back is completing his second stint with Millonario and will sign with the La Plata club for two seasons

No more: Leandro González Pírez ends his second spell at River. After two and a half years, the defender leaves the Millonario to become a new signing for Estudiantes de La Plata, where he will also have a second stint.

The center-back had only six months left on his contract and was eligible to negotiate his arrival as a free agent for 2026. However, an early termination was agreed upon through financial compensation, which allowed for a quicker incorporation into the squad led by Eduardo Domínguez.

With his departure now confirmed, González Pírez will sign a contract with the club from La Plata until mid-2027. His arrival represents a key reinforcement for Estudiantes, which needed to strengthen its defense after a semester marked by inconsistent performances and departures such as Sebastián Boselli.
