River Plate has already started outlining its transfer strategy for 2025, focusing on strengthening its attack with the signings of Lucas Alario and Mauro Icardi. Following the team's disappointing elimination in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores against Atlético Mineiro, the board and coaching staff, led by Marcelo Gallardo, have identified the lack of goals as a critical area that needs urgent attention.

The coach has emphasized the need for a forward who can bring more effectiveness to the attack, a position currently held by Miguel Ángel Borja and Adam Bareiro, but has shown deficiencies in performance.

River Plate Wants Alario and Icardi

Speculation about the interest in Alario and Icardi has gained traction in sports media, with journalists like Diego Latorre, who works at ESPN, revealing that the club is considering these options to bolster its squad. Icardi, who has had a notable spell at Galatasaray, is an attractive candidate, especially due to his personal connection with River Plate. The player has been frequently seen in activities related to the club, even posting images from the Monumental stadium.

Although Icardi is valued at close to 20 million dollars, the possibility of a loan bringing him back to Argentina for a season has been raised.

The situation is similar for Alario, who has also been mentioned as a viable option. Both players present a significant opportunity to revitalize River Plate's offense, which has struggled to find the net in recent matches. Looking ahead to the future, the club aims to address this goal-scoring crisis, making these signings a priority in their planning for the upcoming year.
