In the midst of its football crisis, River continues to define the future of the players who will not be considered by Eduardo Coudet and Matías Galarza Fonda is one of those closest to finding a new destination. The Paraguayan midfielder, who was removed from the professional squad for the second half of the year, could continue his career at Olimpia.
According to journalist Germán García Grova, the Asunción institution wants to take the midfielder on loan for 18 months, with a purchase obligation linked to the fulfillment of certain objectives. The negotiation is still not closed, although discussions have progressed and the Paraguayan team appears as the main alternative for the future of the former Talleres player.
Although River initially prioritized making definitive sales for players who were left out of the coach's consideration, due to the difficulty in finding buyers, they also began to evaluate loans that could lead to a mandatory transfer.
The possibility of moving abroad arises after a particular semester for Galarza Fonda. The midfielder returned to Núñez after his brief loan at Atlanta United, but did not manage to convince Coudet and was left out of the coach's plans.
The scenario changed after his outstanding performance with the Paraguay National Team in the 2026 World Cup, where they reached the round of 16 after eliminating Germany and then fell to France. His performance during the tournament sparked interest from some European clubs, including Bologna and Juventus from Italy, although their inquiries did not progress.
