Mauro Arambarri, River's second signing: experienced Uruguayan midfielder

River Plate is set to secure its second reinforcement of the transfer window with the imminent arrival of Uruguayan midfielder Mauro Arambarri. The Argentine club has reached a preliminary agreement with Spain's Getafe for a permanent transfer valued at 6 million euros for 100% of the player's rights.

Arambarri, a 30-year-old native of Salto, Uruguay, is expected to travel for his medical examination and sign a contract through December 2029 once administrative procedures are finalized. He brings a wealth of experience, having played 267 matches for Getafe, where he served as captain and scored 22 goals with 14 assists. In his final season with the Spanish club, he appeared in all 37 matches, scoring 6 goals.

The addition of Arambarri fulfills a priority for coach Eduardo Coudet, who sought to bolster the midfield. Arambarri is known for his strong recovery abilities, intense marking, and attacking presence. His experience also extends to the Uruguayan national team, where he has earned 12 caps.

This signing follows the official presentation of Nicolás Otamendi and the earlier acquisition of defender Tobías Ramírez, who is currently injured. River aims to strengthen its squad after a disappointing semester, which included a loss in the Torneo Apertura final and elimination from the Copa Sudamericana group stage.
