The delegation with 31 players in charge Martin Demichelis and that since this Tuesday they started carving the River post Gallardo in the Miami section of the 2023 preseason, five chicks asking for a clue The new coach had already called up three of them for the San Luis friendly against Chilean Unión La Calera and has now put them on the plane to travel to the United States, along with two other youngsters.

The three that Demichelis has already tested are Luke Lavagnino, Franco Alfonso and the Colombian Flabianus -yes, like Fabián but with ele- Londono Bedoya. Franco Petroli Y Ulises Giménez -who will travel in the next few days having stayed in Buenos Aires due to a visa problem-completes the youth quintet that adds to the preseason.

The players have signed their first contract with the club and have millionaire release clauses: between 15 and 20 million to start chatting if anyone is interested in the conditions of the players coached by River.

The children, one by one

The late addition of FrancoArmaniworld champion in Qatar 2022, forced to add sink on the list. The little archer It is category 2004 and measures 1.89. You signed three forms with the reserve team. Gallardo took him to the bank in an informal friendly against Huracán.

Originally from San Miguel, he started out at Club Leloir as a striker and at the age of seven tried out as a goalkeeper to discover the position. He moved on to Argentine baby soccer and then to a field of 11 under the three sticks, but in his neighborhood club he continued as a centre-forward. Without a place in the Bug, he went to the River and stayed there forever. He never played 9 again.

alfonso It’s the 2002 category and last year there was a lot of friction in the Reserve. He started out at River as a recruiter and currently works as a inside right. He signed his first contract last year with a $15 million early release clause. He also has friction with the First Division: Gallardo brought him to the first team in the final stretch of last season.

Originally from Morón, he played children’s soccer at El Porvenir de Castelar. He played in the league tournament for Vélez, but they didn’t sign him for inferior. In 2015 Fortín played a friendly against River and Gustavo Fermani and Juanjo Borrelli saw the potential in him and had a test. He was a hitch and can move on both bands.

Flabian Londono BedoyaHe is the striker and the most experienced among the youth teams: despite not making his debut in the First Division, Gallardo followed him closely and a fracture in his right collarbone during a Reserve match against Argentinos prevented him from being considered by Doll.

Colombian and cousin of the former Racing defender Gerard Bedoya, the striker has a contract until the end of this year and started at Club Deportivo La Mazzia, of the Antioquia Football League. In 2018 they saw him at River and it didn’t take long to get him down to the lower divisions.

Last year, Ulises Gimenez he made a leap in category: he went from Seventh to Reserve and has now been signed by Demichelis for the preseason. He is a defender and has already been called up to the Under 17s: he can play as a right-back or as a central scorer. On Monday, he signed his first three-year contract.

He comes from a footballing family, his grandfather played as a center forward in the lower teams of Atlanta and in the Primera de Almagro. His father, Adrián, played on the left wing for Ferro and his uncle was a goalkeeper for Fénix. Ulises is the first in the family with a release clause of 20 million euros.

Franco Petroli He was considered by Gallardo: he was behind Germán Lux and Enrique Bologna. In San Luis, the 1.90 and 24-year-old from Santa Fe started the international friendly against Unión La Calera, which marked the debut of de Demichelis in charge of River. At least 45 minutes, the first, since Ezequiel Centurión then occupied the arc

Demichelis intends to keep him as the third goalkeeper of the squad, which has Armani as owner. Of the five youngsters heading to Orlando, he could be the one with the most minutes.

More gems

While they won’t travel to Orlando for various reasons, River has protected several young players who signed their first contract – or extended it – on Monday with million-dollar clauses.

Regard Axel Encinas, who on Monday extended his relationship with River for three years and added the €20m clause. In 2019 he was elected best player of the Under 16 tournament which was played in England and which, in addition to River, featured teams from Manchester City and United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Palmeiras.

With two goals and 44 games in reserve, he has been called up by Javier Mascherano for the Sub 20 who will participate in the South American in Colombia. For this reason he does not travel with Demichelis.

With the same clause of 20 million euros, Claudio Echeverri signed his first contract. Last year he moved from the Seventh Division to the Reserve and on his debut day he scored a goal. To River he was not unknown: in 2017 and at the age of kids he had a leading role in a champions trophy where it was played Venice. At the age of 11 he was the first figure Juventus.

He was born in Resistencia, in the Chaco, and they call him little devil, for that historic Bolivian down payment. He started at Club Deportivo Luján in the Río Negro neighborhood and after distinguishing himself in the Chaco league, at the end of 2016 he tried out for River and the following year he joined the children’s league.

Jonah Moon He also signed his first contract on Monday following a non-stop move to the Reserves, from the Sixth Division. He was born in Santiago del Estero, arrived as a coach and ended up as a winger. He will start the preseason in the reserves, but he is one of the guys Demichelis will entrust the shooting.
