Di Carlo not stopping: River make first bid for Romaña
After finalizing the signings of Fausto Vera and Aníbal Moreno, River Plate continues its momentum in the transfer market. The management, led by Stefano Di Carlo, has made a formal offer to San Lorenzo for Jhohan Romaña, the Colombian central defender who has become Marcelo Gallardo's priority to restructure the back line.
The "Millonario" proposal consists of 2 million dollars for 50% of the defender's transfer, along with the loan of Sebastián Boselli. There is marked optimism in Núñez, as the financial figures are close to what the Boedo club is seeking to part with one of its stars.

Mandatory Reconstruction at the Back
The search for a central defender is no coincidence. Gallardo's team faces a complex scenario following Germán Pezzella's serious injury (ligament rupture) and the coach's decision not to count on Chilean Paulo Díaz. Currently, River only has Lucas Martínez Quarta and the young Lautaro Rivero as undisputed players in that sector.
Romaña, 27, perfectly fits the profile the "Muñeco" is looking for: a defender with physical strength, a good current performance in local football, and room for growth.
The Boselli Factor
The success of the operation now depends on Sebastián Boselli's willingness. The Uruguayan defender is the key bargaining chip for San Lorenzo to accept the transfer. If the player gives the green light to join Damián Ayude's team, Romaña will become the third reinforcement for a River aiming high for 2026.
