Gallardo received the best news for River's next match: "It's very important"

River is preparing for two important matches. First, on Saturday, against Estudiantes , in the interzonal of the Torneo Apertura 2025 , in a high-impact duel. And then in the final against Talleres for the International Super Cup , looking for a title. For those matches, Marcelo Gallardo hopes to have a player of weight for the Muñeco . And he received good news.

"Thinking about what's coming, Giuliano Galoppo started doing field work today. They'll see if he can be available against Estudiantes or Talleres in the International Super Cup," journalist Gustavo Yarroch said on Radio La Red on Tuesday.

"For Gallardo, he is very important, he was a starter in the six previous games. He is slowly starting to recover from the hamstring strain in his left leg," added the journalist, who follows River's daily life, about the former Banfield midfielder.

"Thinking about Pincha, what will Muñeco do? I think Paulo Díaz will be supported. We will have to see who between Pezzella and Martínez Quarta plays. Will Marcos Acuña, who was Casco's substitute in San Juan, return? And we will have to see what happens with Borja, who has scored in the last two games," added Yarroch.

"The money from Foster Gillett has not appeared, there is a lot of discontent at River about this situation. The club is considering issuing a statement like the one from Vélez for Valentín Gómez," said Yarroch, a journalist who follows River's day-to-day on Radio La Red, about the midfielder and his future.

The businessman promised to pay 11 million for the player, but the money never appeared and Villagra has been out of River for almost a month, but with a contract at the club. "Villagra presented a letter signed by Foster Gillett in which he proposed to buy the player's transfer. For this reason, Villagra asked for permission to train on his own, and it was River's mistake, they granted it to him," said Yarroch.

At the time, El Millonario paid around 10 million dollars to Talleres for Villagra. And now they hope to recover the investment, but it won't be easy. "CSKA Moscow is offering 7 million for 100% of Villagra. River wants it to be for 70%. I have the feeling that they will end up selling him," said Yarroch.
