They are looking for Flamengo’s Juanfer Quintero, while Demichelis prepares his version of River with Nacho Fernández and Kranevitter on break until April

With the news that the rift of Matías Kranevitter the fibula and ligaments were also compromised, the surgery on his right ankle was a success. Now Technical Director of River Martin Demicheliscarry out training before the end-of-year break, with one’s head focused on reinforcements: Juan Fernando Quintero He hasn’t returned to the club since the holidays and continuity at River seems difficult: now Flamengo will manage its constitution.

The main obstacle between the club and the player is the impossibility of sending foreign currency abroad for the purchase of economic rights, in accordance with Argentina’s financial regulation. Not for the footballer “a contract in a national account is advantageous, with a dollar figure that passes into Argentine pesos”, explain River Plate sources. Meanwhile, the Brazilian press claims that Flamengo could close its constitution in a matter of hours.

The best case scenario is Paul Diaz, who despite having trained differently, completes his field work after undergoing surgery on his right knee for a meniscus tear. The preseason stretch that River has planned in the United States will be in full swing.

Who is full is Ignacio Fernandez, who has continued to prepare alongside his teammates, ahead of his new tenure at the club following his return from Atlético Mineiro, where he trained at full capacity until last Friday.

With the arrivals of Fernández and Kranevitter, the River market will focus on two specific positions. What is Demichelis looking for? With the cessation of the activity of javier pinola and with gonzález pirez seen from the corner of his eye since his thin 2022, the search will be oriented towards a central scorer to have in the team in addition to Maidan, roberto rojas (usually plays as a winger), mommy Y David Martinez (for whom there are foreign surveys).

So the priority is middle second (which is difficult to achieve since everyone is looking for the market but there are not many) and beyond Luca Merolla Y Lautaro Valentithat have already played in the markets of other countries, for now there is no progress.

The other position he intends to strengthen? demichelis wants add an attackerbut hasn’t yet decided if he’s an area center forward or a striker who moves along the entire front of the attack like matías suarez.

The ‘Millionaire’ works in Julio Grondona’s property that the AFA has in Ezeiza, since the club is renovating the River Camp complex, located in the same part of the Buenos Aires suburb.

River’s schedule is busy: the team will travel to the United States next month to focus the preseason with friendlies against Monterrey from Mexico (10/01 in Austin, Texas), Millonarios from Colombia (14/01 at DRV PNK Stadium in Florida); and Vasco de Gama from Brazil (17/01 in the same stadium).
