The squad of Boca Juniors He has not yet started his vacation despite the stoppage in the Professional League. Next Wednesday, at the stadium Malvinas Argentina from Mendoza, the team led by Diego Martínez will face Almirante Brown for the pass to the 16th round of the Argentine Cup.
While waiting for what will be the last match before the break, Xeneize continues to be active in the transfer market ahead of what will be the tie against Independiente del Valle, from Ecuador, for the Copa Sudamericana. In this sense, the president Juan roman riquelme works together with the Football Council to add new players, since it is very possible that Equi Fernández, Cristian Medina and Kevin Zenón are chosen by Javier Mascherano to compete in the Olympic Games and miss the series.
In addition to the return of the Chilean Gary Medeland the names for which the Xeneize board has already entered into negotiations with their respective clubs such as Toto Belmonte (Toluca) and Fausto Vera (Corinthians)there is a name that seduces the club’s idol. Thiago Almadawho became world champion with Argentina in the World Cup in Qatar and will play in Paris 2024, is a surname that Román has always wanted.
The former Vélez midfielder, today at Atlanta United, spoke in the last few hours about the chance of leaving MLS soccer to return to the country. “I always talk to Román, he asks me how I am, how my family is. We have a nice relationship. Just yesterday we talked. Yesterday I spoke, but there is nothing formal yet”said the 23-year-old footballer in dialogue with TyC Sports.
When asked if the conversation had been to ask about his intention to play for Boca, Almada replied: “Yes, I talked a little about everything, it was a nice conversation. I’m doing well here and the club has treated me very well since I arrived. We will see what happens in these months,” added the soccer player who was captain during the Pre-Olympic in which the National Team qualified for the men’s Olympic soccer tournament.
“He told me that he wants me to play for Boca. Yesterday she told me too. There is nothing formal. “I’m happy here, happy,” he added in the talk with journalist Gastón Edul from Atlanta, the host city of the Argentine team’s debut in the Copa América.
Although there are no references about the value of the offer that Riquelme could offer, it is important to say that Almada was acquired by the United States franchise in a few 15 million dollarsso it is assumed that the Eastern Conference club in Major League Soccer would seek to recover said investment it made at the beginning of 2022.
We must remember that next Thursday, starting at 9 p.m. (Argentine time), those led by Lionel Scaloni will make their debut in the continental competition against Canada at the stadium Mercedes Benz Stadium. Almada was not part of the latest calls for the national team that was crowned in the last World Cup, since she is a fixture of Mascherano to travel to the capital of France to compete in the Olympic Games.
In relation to the rest of the negotiations that Riquelme is carrying out in Boca, It is expected that Belmonte can become a player for the blue and gold team in the next few hours. The information indicates that the directors of the Mexican club and Xeneize approached the transfer numbers and the Argentine team would buy 50% of the former Lanús’s record.
For its part, Vera’s situation is more complicated. In the last hours the information emerged from the Brazilian media Or Globe that Atlético Mineiro led by Gabriel Milito would have made an offer for 80 percent of the central midfielder’s transfer in a sum close to 4 million dollars. In this way, Galo presents himself as the main competitor to keep the midfielder who already played under the Argentine coach in Argentinos Juniors.
At first, Boca made an offer of 2,000,000 for half of the player’s pass. His representative, who is the same agent as Chiquito Romero and Marcos Rojo, is the Xeneize representative in Brazil to try to close the transfer.
