According to TYC, the agreement for Fausto Vera's loan to River Plate from Atlético Mineiro is close. It is reportedly considered almost certain that the player will be the first new signing in Marcelo Gallardo's squad for 2026. An agreement between River Plate and the player has been in place for several days. Fausto Vera was not included in the squad by Jorge Sampaoli for the last Brasileirao match and has said goodbye to his teammates at Atlético Mineiro. There are still unresolved issues between the clubs, which is why the negotiation has not yet been finalized, although they are in contact to settle the details. The deal is a one-year loan with a purchase obligation of approximately four or five million dollars, which River Plate will pay if the central midfielder meets specific requirements. The intention is for Vera to be at the Ezeiza training ground on Saturday, December 20, for the start of preseason.
