Marcelo Gallardo has started shaping the new River that will face the second half of 2025 and has made a key decision in defense: he has requested the return of Sebastián Boselli, who will come back after his loan at Estudiantes de La Plata.
The Uruguayan center-back, 21 years old, left in mid-2024 to get more playing time and he achieved it: he played in 17 of Pincha's last 25 matches, although he missed some due to a thigh injury. His loan was free of charge and without a purchase option, but it included a recall clause in the current transfer window that River decided to activate.
Journalist Hernán Castillo reported in advance that Boselli will return to compete for a spot in Gallardo's team and not because of a formal offer that arrived from abroad. According to various sources, people close to the player confirmed that the return is exclusively at the coach's request.
