Buenos Aires.-The 27-year-old forward, who had been playing for San Lorenzo de Almagro, became the most important signing for Demichelis’ team.
We are going to win the Libertadores, eh! We have to respect the Greatest…”. He had not even taken his first two or three steps as a River player when Adam Bareiro already began to feel the pressure of the millionaire fans before signing his contract and being officially presented by the club through social media on Thursday night.
The Paraguayan was not even given a second to breathe so that he might enjoy the end of a very long novel. A story of intrigue and suspense that included almost two months of negotiations, a couple of proposals accepted and then rejected by San Lorenzo, many ups and downs and all kinds of speculation.
On the contrary, at the moment in which he might breathe a sigh of relief because he had achieved what he wanted, to put on the River shirt to try to lift the long-awaited Cup, the centre forward who joins Martín Demichelis’ squad to compete with Miguel Ángel Borja felt first-hand the desire/obsession that River fans have for the semester that officially begins in just over a week.
After the late hours of Wednesday and the collateral intervention of the president of the AFA to unblock the situation, the leaders of River and San Lorenzo reached an agreement and Adam did not join the Ciclón’s training in Punta del Este but instead redirected his course towards the Rossi clinic in Belgrano to speed up his incorporation into his new club.
As things stand, River will pay US$4.5 million net (one million more than the termination clause) in two installments (2.5 million cash and the rest in one payment), without bonuses or capital gains. The Boedo club itself, this time, made it official through its networks at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday so there would be no doubts and from Núñez they welcomed him through the same media at 8:01 p.m.
With the review completed, the Prince went directly to the Monumental to sign a 41-month contract, until December 2027, which will also contain a termination clause, the amount of which in Núnez they are finalizing whether it will be US$ 10 million or US$ 15 million. Thus, on Friday followingnoon he will join the training sessions at the Hilton in Pilar.
At 27 years old, River will be the eighth club of his career following a career that began at Olimpia in Paraguay and continued at River and Nacional in that country, Monterrey and Atlético San Luis in Mexico, San Lorenzo and Alanyaspor in Turkey. He arrives at the River team at the highest point of his career, following a first half of 2024 in which he played 21 games (20 as a starter), had 1,776 minutes on the field, scored 7 goals and gave 1 assist.
