Lucas Martínez Quarta is getting closer to River. The 28-year-old defender, who emerged from the lower divisions of ‘Millonario’, took the first step to complete his return to the club where he was born and with which he became champion of the Copa Libertadores: He closed his time at Fiorentina with an emotional farewell.
This Wednesday, after training Viola In his stadium, Chino was seen moved when he greeted the public who applauded him there and also received the affection of his teammates. In this way, his cycle at the Italian club, which he arrived in October 2020 and with which he played 143 parties, seems to be coming to an end.
Alessandro Ferrari, sports director, had confirmed the Millionaire’s interest. “River asked for information about him and Chino is happy to be able to play more. Like everyone who asks us for a change of scenery to gain continuity, we will see if we can satisfy it.”he stated in dialogue with Sky Sports prior to the visit to Juventus.
Martínez Quarta debuted at River in 2016 with Marcelo Gallardo as a coach and it was Muñeco himself who contacted him to offer him this possibility with the addition of playing in the first Club World Cup extended to 32 participants, which will be an event recognized throughout the football planet, and the Copa Libertadores.
Gallardo let him know that he needs a central marker and wants to count on him to pair with German Pezzella, with whom he shared the court at Fiorentina and in the National Team.
Despite being a reference for Fiore, Martínez Quarta was interested in the proposal for two reasons: one, because he is playing little (just eight games – and one goal against Atalanta – in the current semester); the other, because he is a River fan and the colors are cool. On top of that, coach Raffaele Palladino already has another Argentine in that place: Nicolás Valentini, who left Boca and was presented in Firenze this Wednesday.
After becoming American champion with Scaloneta in the middle of the year in the United States, Martínez Quarta wants to play. He is at his peak and does not want to leave the radar of Lionel Scaloni and his coaching staff. River, then, appears as a good chance.
In addition to the imminent arrival of Lucas Martínez Quarta, River fans enjoy knowing that Gonzalo Martínez, another of the champions in Madrid, will continue at the club for a while longer. Specifically, until December 2027. It will be made official shortly.
His contract expired on December 31, like that of Manuel Lanzini, but shortly before the New Year toast there was a verbal agreement between Pity and the Millonario leaders. Thus, he will be present on January 4 in San Martín de los Andes to begin the preseason, definitively leave behind that injury that seriously complicated his 2024 season and bring joy to the people of River Plate in 2025.
