Juan Portillo, 25 years old, is a footballer known for his versatility, as he can play as a central defender, lateral defender, or even midfielder, offering many options to Marcelo Gallardo.

Meanwhile, Matías Galarza Fonda is 23 years old and arrives to strengthen the midfield. He is left-footed, with good offensive qualities and has international experience, having played for Olimpia, Vasco da Gama, and Coritiba, as well as being part of the Paraguayan national team.

According to the press, River has spent 8.5 million dollars net for both players: acquiring 90% of Portillo and 70% of Galarza Fonda.

In the current market, River Plate had already added Maximiliano Salas (Racing), Juan Fernando Quintero (América de Cali), and Alex Woiski (Mallorca); along with the returns of Lautaro Rivero and Sebastián Boselli.

River started the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional League with two victories: against the reigning champion Platense and against Instituto. Their next match will be this Sunday against San Lorenzo at the Estadio Mâs Monumental for the third round of the championship.
