Giuliano Galoppo was close to signing with Boca, but in a matter of hours, he became a River player.

River Plate has officially announced the acquisition of Giuliano Galoppo as a new player. He is joining the club on loan from São Paulo, with the agreement set to last until December 31, 2025. The contract stipulates a purchase option, which will become obligatory if specific performance targets are achieved. Galoppo's contract with São Paulo is valid until the end of June 2027. He initially joined São Paulo in 2022 but found it challenging to secure a regular starting spot. In March 2023, he suffered a ligament injury in his knee, underwent surgery, and returned to playing the following year. He had an arthroscopy at the end of 2024, causing him to miss the rest of the season. Throughout his tenure at São Paulo, he played in 60 matches, scored 10 goals, and provided 4 assists. He is one of the reinforcements for River Plate in 2025, following the acquisition of players such as former Corinthians player Matías Rojas.

River Plate is preparing to bring Giuliano Galoppo from São Paulo on a one-season loan. São Paulo's only requirement is for River Plate to cover Galoppo's salary and image rights. There is also a possibility that Enzo Díaz from River Plate could be included in the deal.

Giuliano Galoppo is set to leave São Paulo in 2025. He is currently in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to undergo medical examinations at River Plate. ESPN reported the interest and progress of River Plate, known as 'Millonarios', in acquiring Galoppo. The agreement is expected to be a one-year loan. São Paulo's only requirement is for the Argentine club to cover Galoppo's salary and image rights.
