River will exercise the purchase option and will definitively keep Giuliano Galoppo.

River will officially complete the permanent transfer of Giuliano Galoppo in the coming days. According to journalist César Luis Merlo, the club will pay approximately 4 million dollars to São Paulo for the Argentine midfielder, who is about to meet the sporting objectives stipulated in his loan, thus automatically triggering the purchase clause.

The agreement between both institutions included that if Galoppo, who came up through Banfield, played at least 45 minutes in half of the season's matches, the Millonario had to acquire 60% of his rights for an initial amount of 3.2 million dollars. The fulfillment of additional goals raised the operation to the total amount that River will pay to secure the player until 2028.

As part of the moves between the clubs, the Brazilian club will acquire the rights to Enzo Díaz, while the future of Gonzalo Tapia, also on loan in Brazil, will be decided later, since his loan was extended until June of next year.

During 2024, Galoppo established himself as a key piece in Marcelo Gallardo's system, with 28 matches and seven goals across the Torneo Apertura, the play-offs, Copa Argentina, Club World Cup, and the current Clausura. His ability to reach the box and contribute goals made him one of the midfielders most valued by the coach, who kept him as a starter in decisive matches, such as the second leg against Palmeiras in Copa Libertadores and the clash against Racing in the Copa Argentina.

With his continuity confirmed, River secures one of the midfielders in the best form in Argentine football, a move that combines performance, potential, and the full confidence of the coaching staff.
