After reaching an agreement with River, Rodrigo Aliendro has moved so that the landing in Núñez takes place before 1 July, when already in freedom of action. It is that the midfielder wishes to be registered in the Copa Libertadores by his future club. That’s why he asked Argentine footballers for advice.
Aliendro traveled to Buenos Aires after the elimination of Colón in the Argentine Cup against Patronato on penalties, in the definition of which the midfielder missed the shot. And she met with baseball union members after talking to the Association’s representative in Santa Fe.
It happens like this Aliendro’s contract with Colón expires on the 30th of this month. Y one day before Colón will play against Talleres de Córdoba in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. And the Santa Fe club wants to keep him on the list in good faith and play that game. However, the footballer wants to quickly end his contract with Sabalero so that Núñez’s institute can score him in continental competition.
In this case, River is waiting for what Aliendro can solve. And since the deadline for changes to the Copa Libertadores list in good faith expires on Saturday, they will provisionally register it since the confirmation of their own roster, by Conmebol regulation, will be Monday.

Aliendro’s situation is similar to that of Lucas Beltrán, returned to training with the team led by Marcelo Gallardo. However, there is a substantial difference: the forward already has a contract with River and was on loan at Colón. And although the Santa Fe club will leave him in the Cup list, Núñez already know that Conmebol authorizes him to participate in the round of 16, which will be played on 6 July, since from 1 July of that month the repechage clause can be carried out. .
Meanwhile, Aliendro could enter a legal crossroads that could cause a new conflict between River and Colón. However, the midfielder will arrive at Núñez and wear the red headband. And if, given the difficulty caused by the Conmebol calendar, he manages to make labor law prevail through the trade unions, he will certainly be able to play the Libertadores with Gallardo’s team. Originally from Merlo, like the Doll, Aliendro is facing the great dream of his life.
A fight from the very low In the last few hours, after Rodrigo Aliendro has signed the agreement with River, a video of an interview has begun in which the midfielder talks about his daily struggle to reach the First Division. “I always say that I hardly ever played in the Inferiores, I was always a substitute, most of the time they didn’t call me and I went, went, went and never got tired. They gave the list on Friday and I wasn’t there. And I came back to my home sad after taking three buses. And I told my old lady they didn’t call me. And she said ‘it doesn’t matter, you’ll have a date next weekend.’ And so it has been all along.
And he continued: “I have never been a starter in the Inferiores. I only started playing more often when I was 18, when I was in the Fifth Division. Then I did another two years of Quarto and I was approaching the age to do a professional contract and it didn’t happen. And when I was six months away from turning 21, the age limit to become a professional or devote myself to something else, I was lucky enough to make my debut. Even if they didn’t put me in for almost a year.
Aliendro made his debut in Chacarita but did not take place and went on loan to Ituzaingó, who was in Prima C. There he gained momentum and his career started to grow. He returned to the “Funebrero”, then moved on to Atlético Tucumán and then to Colón. Now comes the great opportunity to play in the River.
