Gabriel Rojas was identified as a potential transfer target for River Plate, although no formal discussions were started, as he failed to completely convince the coaching staff. After River Plate paused negotiations with Athletico Paranaense for Lucas Esquivel and faced a rejection from Lucas Cepeda, they contemplated Gabriel Rojas among other possibilities such as Julián Aude. Nevertheless, none of these options advanced or were appealing to Gallardo, which led River Plate to consider depending on their existing players, Acuña and Casco, for the upcoming competitions.
