Boca advances firmly for its first reinforcement :: Olé

Pass market mode on. There are still two games left for the competition to end in this first half of 2024 (Vélez for the League and Almirante Brown for the Argentine Cup), but Boca is already moving forward with its first reinforcement. The need to rebuild the squad is very great and important thinking about the second part of the year. In those plans, apparently, Tomás Belmonte appears.

The 26-year-old midfielder is currently at Mexican side Tolucaalthough the good news for Xeneize is that The player gave the green light and that the club would be willing to negotiate it. In fact, from Ezeiza they assure that from Argentina They have already started a first contact to start chatting.

It is not new that Juan roman riquelme look for Toto again. Yes, it is new that he does it in this transfer market, but it is not the first time. The brand midfielder has seduced the president of Boca since its appearance in Lanús in 2017. He had already gone looking for him, although when it could be, destiny put Mexico in front of Belmonte’s path, who left for that country in the middle of last year.

This time, destiny can play in favor of Boca. And of Diego Martinez, of course. The coach not only already warned behind closed doors that he needs to rebuild the squad (and strengthen it in some cases) because It fell short and was evident with the little replacement in this first part of the year, but also detailed what positions he needs. And that of a midfielder like Belmonte, is one.

Toto, who played 31 games in Mexico and scored three goals (two assists), It is a midfielder with more defensive characteristics, which does not mean that it does not step on the area. He does it, and reaches the goal. Even during his time at Granate he scored 16 goals (in 172 games), most of them being upside down despite the fact that he is not a player who stands out for his height.

That is to say, can play as Equi Fernández (although it can also be an inside right), precisely one of the footballers that Boca knows they are going to come looking for from Europe. Already In Portugal there is talk that the main midfielder in Martínez’s team could be the replacement for Alan Varela in Porto. Without a doubt, another reason to insist on the arrival of Belmonte.

Now, it is true that Toluca is willing to negotiate it, which does not mean that it is going to give it away or that it is not going to impose its conditions. Furthermore, one of the The firmest intention of the Mexicans would be to sell it directly. That’s where the economic comes in. Although it is believed that during this week the claims for Toto would arrive from Mexico, in a move The figure for him could be similar to the $5,500,000 they paid for him to take him from Argentina in 2023.

Roman already called. Boca wants it. Belmonte would have it in his plans to come. This time, unlike the previous ones, everything is given. Be?
