Leonardo Díaz, former River Plate goalkeeper, joins Huracán de San Rafael in search of continuity. The 26-year-old goalkeeper will attempt to write a new chapter in his career after being announced by the Mendoza club this Wednesday.
What happened?
Leonardo Díaz debuted in River Plate in 2021 in a superclásico against Boca, in the Bombonera. Five years later, the goalkeeper will attempt to write a new chapter in Huracán de San Rafael, which will compete in the Torneo Regional Federal Amateur.
Why is it important for River Plate?
The incorporation of Díaz in Huracán de San Rafael may be a blow for River Plate, which is already struggling to maintain its position in the Liga Profesional Argentina. With the arrival of Díaz, the Mendoza club may have an opportunity to consolidate itself in the category.
What's next?
Díaz will attempt to write a new chapter in his career after being announced by Huracán de San Rafael. The 26-year-old goalkeeper will have the opportunity to demonstrate his value in the category and may be a key player for the Mendoza club in the future.
Currently, River Plate is in 15th place in the Liga Profesional Argentina, with 0 points, 0 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses in 3 games. The goal difference is -3. The club is 9 points behind the leaders Argentinos JRS.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper has had a complicated journey in River Plate. After debuting in 2021, Díaz was unable to consolidate himself as an alternative for the first team. In 2023, he was loaned to Las Vegas Lights, in the second division of the United States, in search of continuity. He played 30 games, received 56 goals and only managed to keep the net intact in two opportunities. Upon returning, under the management of Martín Demichelis, the coach informed him that he would not be considered and, after being left out of the preseason, he terminated his contract with River.
