For a week or so its been rumored that Galvan was going to go back to Argentina. The rumor was a loan for the season with an option to buy with Talleres. Today the Rapids made the move official, but it turned out to be a straight transfer to Club Atlético Banfield. Presumably they came in with a better offer. Galvan ends his 4 years in Denver with 53 appearances, 4 goals, 4 assists, and 2 notable red cards.
Galvan turns out to be another attempt at finding a young player in South America and developing him into a regular starter and/or selling them on to Europe, but that path has yet to work with any of our signings. The likes of Juan Ramirez, Lucas Esteves, and Max fall into this category as well, with similar results. At some point you have to think that maybe whatever Colorado is doing in finding these players and then training them isn't working out. Galvan might have been the best chance, an unfortunate injury seems to have been the real thing that held him back.
With his absence the Rapids now have 32 players under contract, but most liked 28 that will be available for selection during the season. M. Navarro, R. Cabral, D. Chacon, and A. Keita, for a variety of different reasons, are unlikely to be on the roster for selection this season. That does give the team an open international slot and room to add another plater should they want to.
