Three years after leaving the club, Gonzalo Montiel made his return to River official this Monday and, accompanied by Jorge Brito and Marcelo Gallardo, signed a contract until December 2028. After some arduous negotiations with Sevilla of Spain, an agreement was reached for the right back. Núñez’s team will pay 4.5 million euros for 100% of his pass, plus 500 thousand in objectives.
The “Millonario” presented the defender with a video recalling the Qatar 2022 World Cup – where he was a key player in converting the defining penalty – and his participation in winning the 2018 Copa Libertadores. We are all him. He is one of ours,” they wrote on the club’s social networks.
After his time at Sevilla in Spain and Nottingham Forest in England, the full-back expressed: “I’m ready to write a new story.”
Once the contract was signed, Montiel toured the Monumental with his wife and son and posed with the World Cup.
Although the player’s arrival was made official this afternoon, they had anticipated his return through an original post: they put an image of a ball in the stadium’s penalty spot next to a “we are all prepared” (with the “all” highlighted in bold), in reference to the goal against France that gave the National Team the World Cup and the viral story of “we are all Montiel.”
Both Montiel and the rest of the brand new additions (Enzo Pérez, Lucas Martínez Quarta, Matías Rojas, Giuliano Galoppo, Sebastián Driussi and Gonzalo Tapia) will have their public presentation this Tuesday at 8 p.m. Some already played the friendly with U de Chile, although they will be introduced to the fans before the friendly with Mexico at the Monumental.
Last Wednesday Montiel arrived in the country and generated a furor among the fans at the Ezeiza International Airport and confessed that returning to the club where he was born as a professional “is something unique and dreamed of.”
Sebastián Driussi, the sixth reinforcement confirmed for River
Minutes after making Montiel’s arrival official, River announced another of the big bombs on the market: the return of Sebastián Driussi. Like the full-back, he signed a contract until December 2028.
The forward excelled in the first years of his career with “the band” and was currently playing for Austin in the United States.
