River made a new move in the transfer market, although it is not a signing. In the middle of the restructuring of the squad and while it awaits key decisions, the club finalized the departure of Bautista Dadín, one of the standout players of the Reserve in 2025, who will continue his career far from Núñez.
The forward's absence at the start of the December preseason drew attention, since during the last year he not only stood out in the team coached by Marcelo Escudero, but he also logged his first minutes in the First Division. Everything indicated that he could start to gain prominence, but the scenario changed.

With the presence of Sebastián Driussi, Agustín Salas, and Ian Subiabre, added to the already consolidated attacking options, the coaching staff led by Marcelo Gallardo concluded that the most convenient option for his development was a loan move.
In that context, two clubs from the Liga Profesional showed interest in his situation and Independiente Rivadavia ultimately prevailed in the negotiation.
According to journalist César Luis Merlo, the agreement includes a one-year loan with a high purchase option, whose amount has not yet been officially confirmed. Dadín has a contract with Riveruntil December 2028 and a release clause set at 100 million euros.

Just as is the case with Tomás Nasif at Platense, the forward will have the chance to play the 2026 Copa Libertadores with his new team. River's objective is clear:for the striker to gain continuity and minutes in the First Division, something that in the current context of the squad seemed difficult to achieve in Núñez.
Dadín's numbers at River
At the beginning of 2025, before making his debut in the First Division, the young forward excelled in the Reserve, with which he played 28 matches, scored 11 goals, and provided 5 assists. Because of his strong performances, the Balcarce native caught the attention of Marcelo Gallardo, even becoming part of the delegation that traveled to the Club World Cup.
However, he gradually lost importance in the coach's plans, ending up playing just 115 minutes with the senior team, spread across 4 appearances, where he only contributed 1 assist.
