Boca is close to breaking the transfer market with a top, historic transfer. Chelsea came looking for Aaron Anselmino with such determination that they already have everything agreed with Xeneize for the young 19-year-old defender to England. What is missing for your sale to be completed? A small detail that Boca and the English club will have to resolve to make the operation official.
Chelsea already has everything ready to pay 18 million dollars for the center back. The only factor that is stopping the sale for now is that the London club wants to take him right now. That is, they intend to have the defender for the beginning of the European preseason. And Boca? At Xeneize they are looking to retain him until June 2025, because today they need alternatives at the back.
That’s why, It is the point to be resolved in a negotiation that has already been largely resolved., especially considering the amount that Chelsea will pay for Aaron. And it is very close to his exit clause ($20 million).
While his immediate future is being resolved, the defender is currently in La Pampa, his hometown, resting before reporting to train with Boca next Friday. The player traveled for a few days to be with his family because he was recovering from the tear he suffered against Vélez at Boca Predio.
Boca knew the potential the player had. Anselmino is one of the jewels of the club’s youth team. For something the club made him sign a contract twice in just six months: In the first, he extended it until December 2028 and raised the clause to $20,000,000, the highest in the club. And the second, in May, with a salary improvement without modifying the clause or the duration of the contract. A sign that they knew what could come…
Boca has already signed up for his replacement
Vélez wants 10 million dollars for the transfer of the 21-year-old defender.
If the sale of Anselmino goes through, Boca is determined to hire Valentín Gómez, Vélez’s young defender. He even sent an offer of 6 million dollars + the pass of Vicente Taborda that was rejected by Fortín. But with the center-back’s money, the Council could send a higher offer to replace the hard loss of the youth player.
