After a long wait, Gonzalo Montiel renewed his contract with River Plate until December 2022.
Montiel signed the contract and joined Franco Armani and Matías Suárez who had done the same this Thursday.
The full-back was highly sought after in this transfer market from Europe, specifically Lyon from France and Villarreal from Spain, but the negotiations did not reach a successful conclusion.
In the last few hours, there was the possibility of the CONMEBOL Libertadores champion, Palmeiras, but nothing concrete.
This is great news for River, as the footballer was one of those whose contract was expiring soon and they could leave with their transfer rights, but Montiel, a fan of the club, had clarified that it wouldn't happen.
