Gary Medel undergoes a medical check-up and then signs a contract with Boca :: Olé

On Wednesday night he arrived on Argentine soil. And this Thursday morning his new stage began to take shape in Mouth. This is Gary Medel, who has already had a medical check-up and now all that remains is for him to sign the 18-month contract.

The Chilean midfielder, who has become a defender in recent years, arrived at the clinic early this Thursday morning in the company of Chelo Delgado. The idea is that once he finished his studies, he could seal the contract. Even before that, you can train this Thursday afternoon at Boca Predio. And once that part is completed, it will be time for your presentation.

If the date on which the 37-year-old will be presented as a new Boca player has not yet been announced, it is precisely because This Friday, Diego Martínez’s team will play the fifth round of the Professional League, starting at 7 p.m. at La Bombonera.

Therefore, the idea is that today the medical examination is carried out, his contract with the club is formalized and be presented as soon as possible by Juan Román Riquelme. In fact, she will be at the Temple watching the game against Fortín.

Now, for months, Boca has a place available after the departure of Bruno Valdez and Riquelme did not hesitate to take advantage of Medel’s situation. Neither dull nor lazy. To bring him and to send him to the field if everything goes well in the medical examination. Because if everything goes well, he could be part of the team next Wednesday in Mendoza against Almirante Brown for the 16th round. of the Argentine Cup.

Boca has no time to waste. And Medel, who is in the rhythm of competition in Vasco (in fact, he was going to be summoned and possibly start against Palmeiras this Thursday in the Brasileirao), is ready to take the field. Thus, also subject to all the paperwork for his incorporation being resolved, a situation could arise that was not in the plans.

With his arrival another old wish of Román comes true, as he has been working for a long time to repatriate him and to give form to his arrival, as he did with other players. The most recent example, also of selection and international career, was Edinson Cavani, with whom he spoke for a long time until he arrived.
