He was one of the great protagonists of the transfer market last winter, with many comings and goings. The operation, thanks to the insistence of Martín Demichelis, came to fruition in July, but then Marcelo Gallardo arrived and he almost had no opportunities. In fact, few memories will remain in the memory of the fan of River. It talks about Adam Bareirowho this Sunday said goodbye to his teammates after having played just 16 games -most of them coming off the bench- and without having been able to score goals. What’s more, he could barely count one shot on goal in the duel against Huracán.
The 28-year-old Paraguayan was loaned for six months with a purchase option Al Rayyan of Qatar in exchange for a million dollars. He MillionaireAt least, he will recover part of the 3.5 million greens that he invested to take him from San Lorenzo.
“I feel sad for having to leave so quickly from a club that did a lot to incorporate me. The transfer market when I arrived was busy. Then there were changes that mean that today I have to make the decision to leave,” Bareiro said before leaving the preseason in San Martín de los Andes.
And he added: “I want to thank the club and everyone who works inside, it was a very short time but it seemed like years to me. Now I will have to encourage them from a distance. River is heavy, it is not for many to be here. “I still take with me beautiful memories, the affinity with my colleagues and moments.”
In this way, River continues to reduce the first team’s strength. In addition to Bareiro – who also frees up a foreign quota – Claudio Echeverri, Enzo Díaz and Nicolás Fonseca have already said goodbye. In addition, Daniel Zabala has his hours numbered and they are looking for a destination for Ramiro Funes Mori, Federico Gattoni and Agustín Sant’Anna. Another who could leave, given that there are offers that can convince economically, is Pablo Solari.
The large number of casualties is due to the fact that River initially shook the transfer market with the arrivals of Lucas Martínez Quarta, Enzo Pérez, Giuliano Galoppo, Matías Rojas and the Chilean Gonzalo Tapia. And now, while trying to have a more competitive team, it is looking to close, among others, Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas Esquivel and Sebastián Driussi. The negotiations for the three are advancing at a slow pace, but they are moving forward.
The players had their first day without preseason activity this Sunday. The coaching staff headed by Marcelo Gallardo gave his team the freedom to do what they want in San Martín de Los Andes. The only order is for everyone to return to the Loi Suites hotel in Chapelco for dinner time. The last stretch of preparation remains before the official debut in the Apertura Tournament of the Professional League, on Saturday, January 25, against Platense in Vicente López.
