Montiel returns to River?. Marcelo Gallardo has already contacted the right-back who scored the penalty that gave Argentina its third World Cup in Qatar 2022 and expressed his desire to have him to face the next season, where the Millionaire will have the Copa Libertadores and the Club World Cup as a bonus.
Are there chances? At River, who have wanted Montiel for several transfer markets given his irregularity in Europe, they are optimistic as ever that the 2018 Copa Libertadores champion in Madrid can truly return to the Monumental.
The reasons not only have to do with the fact that the 27-year-old defender is not considered in the Andalusian team (he played only six games since his return from Nottingham Forest in the second half of the year), but also because the club intends to release his contract due to Financial Fair Play problems.
That second item is what opens a door for River, taking into account that by paying a small compensation Sevilla would already be willing to release him. However, there are other interested teams against which Núñez will have to fight: San Pablo from Brazil and Monterrey from Mexico, directed by Martín Demichelis, also have Montiel on their list.
The first contact between the club and the player has already taken place and now we will have to see how the negotiations between the River Plate management and the Seville team develop, but the desire to repatriate the full-back who emerged in Núñez is underway.
Gimnasia advances in renewals and departures: Lucas Castro continues
Although the Gimnasia public in general is with great expectation for the reinforcements of the 2025 season, the truth is that the Lobo management has advanced in other matters, which are very important. And it has to do with the renewals of important names as well as the departures of those players who have not performed or will go in search of minutes of competition.
The most important thing has to do with Lucas Castro, who has everything agreed with the Club to extend his contract for two more seasons. Figure and reference of the squad, Pata will continue wearing the shirt that he carries in his heart. And everything seems to indicate that Pablo De Blasis will follow the same path although the talks continue. It should be noted that the goalkeeper Nelson Insfrán has already renewed his contract.
The less pleasant part has to do with those players who performed very little and are looking to cut their contracts. These are Gustavo Canto, Brian Blasi and Juan Cruz Esquivel. As soon as the official competition ended, the talks began to force their departure from Lobo. Although it is not something free, they try to oxygenate the group from this type of situations that have performed very little. They will progressively agree that their destinies will not be under the direction of Marcelo Méndez.
Sebastián Villa, in Racing’s sights: Gustavo Costas gave the thumbs up
Racing’s year-end was far from calm. With the change of mandate due to the elections won by Diego Alberto Milito, the Academy agreed to the key continuity of Gustavo Costas for 2025 and has already begun to move to retain Juan Fernando Quintero and Roger Martínez, two figures of the squad. In addition, it began to plan the squad for the next season and in the last few hours the name of Sebastián Villa came up again.
The Colombian forward with a past in Boca is currently playing for Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza, where he had a great performance, especially in the last stage, and was offered to several clubs, including the Avellaneda team. Before the elections, Víctor Blanco had stated that “he is a player that I like.” With the new president everything seemed to come to nothing, but the technical director gave him the thumbs up.
“I would like to have Sebastián Villa. He is in the folder,” said Costas in an interview with Súper Mitre. In this way, it will now be in the hands of Sebastián Saja, Sports Director, and the brand new Technical Secretariat to decide whether to accelerate the Colombian, who has a contract until mid-2026 with La Lepra.
