Marcelo Gallardo smiles. Hours before he is officially presented as the new River coach, the management has already finalized the arrival of two players that the coach requested: Germán Pezzella, who is already in Buenos Aires, and Maximiliano Meza, whose flight to the country will depart this Monday from Mexico. The Monterrey midfielder will join Millonario with the aim of replacing Esequiel Barco.

In an express effort by the directors, River achieved in a matter of days the total agreement with Monterrey, where the midfielder has a contract until December 31 and his intention was not to renew it. In that framework, The Millionaire extended up to US$ 2,000,000 in compensation for the remaining five months of the contract and the parties shook hands.

Last night, Meza said goodbye to Rayados with a game against Pumas UNAM for the third date of the Leagues Cup. He was a starter in the duel played at the Q2 Stadium, He kicked the ball in the 32nd minute and it could have been a red card and was replaced at half-time by Jesús Corona. The match ended in a 1-1 draw and Monterrey lost on penalties.

I confess to being a River fan, Meza will travel from Mexico to Buenos Aires on Monday to undergo a medical check-up as soon as possible.sign his contract until December 2026 and put himself under the orders of Marcelo Gallardo for the next commitments. While waiting for an official voice to confirm the transfer, the one who did it was his brother on social networks.
