The river sails in a sea of football uncertainty. After the defeat against Colón in Santa Fe, he got his worst start in the Gallardo era with two points out of nine up for grabs. And although the Doll has stated that she should not despair, in private there is concern for the poor football level of the team and, in particular, because of how many players are low in the squad.
Meanwhile, the management is condemned to try to give a blow to the market. In the last few hours there has been a telephone communication between Jorge Brito and Luis Suárez. The call of the club president was added to those of Enzo Francescoli and Gallardo to reinforce the proposal that River made to the Uruguayan, to whom, how could he have known Clarionethey offered him a contract of at least $ 3 million until the end of the year.
Brito’s interview with Suárez is a further incentive that increases the illusion there is in Núñez for having the “Gunman”. It is that in general the modus operandi when looking for a reinforcement begins with the phone calls and messages from Francescoli and Gallardo to find out if the player is interested in going to the River and if he does not refuse it, then the president seems to be negotiating. . In this case the striker of the Uruguayan national team opened the door.

However, that doesn’t mean I’m going to say yes. We will have to wait for his final decision. But what is known is that Suárez considers River’s offer and values it. Not only from a sporting point of view, but also from an emotional point of view. “Right now, in addition to playing and competing at a high level to get in shape for his last World Cup, he needs support and support”, he confided. Clarione a person very close to the Uruguayan footballer. In the River, in addition to the minutes and the competition, he will also have affection, of course.
The answer won’t come soon. It is that Suárez has started his holidays. He is in Barcelona with his family and there he will spend a few days with Lionel Messi and his family. So, in principle, the problem is long overdue. “The European market is still in its infancy and we believe we won’t have any news until next month,” admitted a River leader while talking to this newspaper.

While, The river will accelerate for Miguel Borja. At the end of the participation with the Junior in the Colombian tournament, now the 29-year-old striker will be able to listen to River’s proposal with serenity. With a contract still valid at his club, the Barranquilla Institute will ask for between $ 4 and $ 5 million for 50 percent of the pass, which is the percentage he owns.
And there is more. Although River’s priority is to carry on, Gallardo is also interested in a midfielder. It is that in that area of the field Nicolás De La Cruz can go to this market and Enzo Fernández to the next. Then, he pointed to Rodrigo Aliendro, a player who plays for Colón de Santa Fe and who played against River on Wednesday night.

Aliendro will be out later this month. And despite the fact that he had anticipated everything with Independiente, the negotiations cooled down because at Rojo de Avellaneda they could not advance him the money they had promised. Hence, the player was open to other proposals. And the river appeared.
On the other hand, in River they know that offers can arrive from Europe for the players of their squad. One is Nicolás De La Cruz, since several clubs from the Old Continent are interested in him. Another is Enzo Fernández, for whom Benfica could pay the termination clause. And in the last few hours it has emerged that Napoli will make an offer for David Martínez.
