Flabian Londoño Bedoya signs contract with River Plate

Flabian Londoño Bedoya officially became a River Plate professional player. The 20-year-old Colombian striker signed his first contract with the Argentine team, which will initially run until 2024. His goals in reserve gradually open a space for him in the team's first team, which even included him in the list of good faith for the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.

“This Monday, Flabian Londoño Bedoya met at the Monumental offices with the President of the Club, Rodolfo D’Onofrio, and with the Secretary, Ignacio Villarroel, to sign his first professional contract with River, which now runs until December 2024“, published the Núñez club in its official media.

Flabian Londoño was born on July 9, 2000 in Ebéjico, Antioquia and since 2018 he has been in the minor divisions of the Millionaire. The player, who is a relative of Gerardo Bedoya and who has been compared on multiple occasions with the beginnings of Falcao, he is River's reserve scorer with nine touchdowns in the first round of the championship.

“I have several things about Falcao, such as the passing game and the location on the field. He is my reference and my idol, knowing that they tell me that I am the new Falcao fills me a lot of motivation. I want to have a good career like his“, said the player months ago in an exclusive interview with AS Colombia.

The Colombian forward has missed the last two games of the River Plate reserve due to a discomfort in the left hamstring that he presented in the game against Banfield, in which he made an assist. Now, he hopes to be available again so that he can play the quarterfinals of the championship.
