✍️ River Plate add a new signing for the Club World Cup | OneFootball

The 'Millonario' activated the recall clause to interrupt Lautaro Rivero's loan, who was currently playing for Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero.

River Plate begins preparations for the FIFA Club World Cup with a new addition to its squad: Lautaro Rivero, a 21-year-old central defender, returns from his loan at Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero to join Marcelo Gallardo's team.

Looking ahead to the international tournament, River decided to move quickly and bring back Rivero, a young defender who stood out with his performances at Central Córdoba (SdE), where he played 20 matches (six in the CONMEBOL Libertadores) and scored two goals.

Rivero will add youth and quality to the defensive line. 'El Muñeco' Gallardo has decided to trust this homegrown player to be another option for the central defense alongside Lucas Martínez Quarta, Paulo Díaz, Germán Pezzella, Leandro González Pírez, and Federico Gattoni.

River's debut in the Club World Cup will be next Tuesday, June 17, against Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan, at Lumen Field in Seattle. Rayados de Monterrey from Mexico and Inter Milan are their other opponents in Group E.
