I think the above list is not finalized yet. Where is Meza, Gio did Scaloni called them before.
Curious to know why he was called up??
I was looking forward to some home base players being called up again..
Enzo Fernandez from RP is looking solid and zeballos from Boca as well.. I would like to see these guys given a chance
Julián Álvarez to Manchester City from River Plate, done deal and here we go! Agreement confirmed as expected last week. €18.5m fee to River with bonuses/taxes. Julián will sign for five years. 🕷🇦🇷 #MCFC
Deal now sealed – Álvarez will remain at River Plate on loan until July.
