River Plate has acquired Francisco Ortega from Olympiacos, with the left-back signing a three and a half year contract. The agreement with Olympiacos for the acquisition of the player's rights has been completed. According to reports from Argentina, Ortega's desire to return to his homeland and play for River Plate was a decisive factor in the agreement. His stance contributed to Olympiacos lowering its financial demands, and the final transfer amount was set at approximately $4.5 million. For Ortega to be definitively included in River Plate's roster, a foreign player spot must be freed up or a player must be sold abroad. The loan of Santiago Lencina is expected to facilitate the completion of Thiago Almada's transfer, and a potential transfer of Facundo Colidio to Vasco da Gama could also enable the necessary processes.
