The new offer that Boca is preparing for a 9 in Argentine football :: Olé

Mouth He went out with the whole market. And he started with a full house: Gary Medel became the first reinforcement of a squad that needs players to play for the second half of this 2024, where there will be triple competition. Precisely, if there is something that is missing – according to the Football Council’s thinking – they are good substitutes. For this reason, and Following Newells’ refusal to sign Brian Aguirre, Xeneize are now looking for another number 9 from Argentine football: Javier Correa, from Estudiantes.

The first target, for the moment, was far away. Because Leprosy did not accept Boca’s conditions. Or rather, he warned that he was falling short with the numbers.
