River Plate is beginning to outline its strategy for the 2025 transfer market, with the goal of consolidating a competitive team that can contend in both the Copa Libertadores and the Club World Cup in the United States. In this pursuit, the Núñez club has set its sights on two midfielders: Rodrigo Battaglia, currently at Atlético Mineiro, and Rodrigo Echeverría, a standout figure at Huracán.
Interest in Battaglia arises from his strong performances in the Copa Libertadores, where he faced River leaving a solid impression. With a contract valid until 2025, the Argentine player could become a free agent by mid-next year due to a clause in his contract. Although his signing would not pose an economic challenge, his importance within Gabriel Milito's system at Atlético Mineiro is an obstacle that River must overcome. The possibility of having a player of his experience and quality would be a significant addition to River's midfield.

On the other hand, Rodrigo Echeverría has been one of the revelations of Argentine football since his arrival at Huracán in 2023. At 29 years old, the Chilean has become a key piece of the team, excelling in both defensive solidity and attacking contribution. His transfer, valued at around 5 million dollars, could vary depending on the outcome of the local tournament, where Huracán aims to become champions after decades of waiting.
Although there have been no official contacts for either of the two players yet, both represent interesting options to strengthen the squad that River aims to build for the challenges of the upcoming year. The transfer market promises to be crucial in defining the future of the team led by Marcelo Gallardo.
