The 2026 World Cup with the Paraguayan National Team had left Matías Galarza Fonda with renewed expectations about his future, but his return to River was far from following that path. After being sidelined from training by management's decision, the midfielder sought an exit and finally found a destination in the United States: he will be a new player for Inter Miami, where he will share a locker room with Lionel Messi.
The resolution came at the close of the Argentine transfer market, after the player decided not to return to training at the Cantilo facility. After obtaining an initial permit from the Millonario to travel to his country for personal reasons, the left-footed player made the decision not to show up again to expedite a transfer, in a context marked by the deterioration of his relationship with the club.
In recent hours, Estudiantes de La Plata, which had already inquired about him previously, also emerged as a concrete alternative. The team from La Plata was preparing to face the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores and was interested in bringing him in, but the possibility of moving to MLS ultimately prevailed. Inter Miami moved forward with greater determination and finalized both the contractual agreement with Galarza and the conditions of his arrival with River.
According to reports, the Paraguayan midfielder will be loaned out with a purchase option that will become an obligation if certain objectives are met. It is worth noting that River holds 70% of the player's economic rights, while the remaining 30% is still owned by Talleres de Córdoba, his previous club.
