However, in the corridors of La Bombonera Some names have already been announced that interest both him and the management. chaired by Juan Roman Riquelme.

Carlos Palacios could be the first addition in January

The only procedure that “very advanced”judging by what they say in the depths of Brandsen 805, this Carlos Palaciosthe Chilean striker who seduced Torero in the last two transfer windows.

Previous attempts to hire him were unsuccessful. For the first time last summer – They offered to pay $4 million.one stick below the termination clause, the amount that Colo-Colo and Vasco da Gama – the holders of his pass – were asking for his release. But The football council has given up and the negotiations did not lead to a successful conclusion.

The other came ahead of the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 against Cruzeiro in Brazil. There are a few hours left before TMS closes, The board of directors offered US$5,000,000, but the lack of opportunity to talk and the elimination of Xeneize negated that chance.. “They sent us an offer 45 minutes before the transfer book closed. They asked us to make a decision on this matter. We convened an extraordinary commission because we are an open society and we have certain procedures for these cases. We were asked to approve the operation in 30 minutes, which was not feasible.“explained Aníbal Mosa, head of Blanco y Negro, at the time

La Jolla, as he was nicknamed by the local press, never ceased to claim that he was in close contact with the president, whom he described as “his childhood idol.” In turn, Kasich’s manager said that they are open to negotiations in January. And in recent days, the player himself has revealed many unknowns about his future: “We are waiting, everything has its time. Yes, maybe (a trip to Boca) is what I want. “I am ready to listen in such moments, but always with the same approach as when I said that I did not want to leave empty-handed.”

Leandro Paredes, Boca and Gago’s dream for 2025

Well known is Operation Return, undertaken some time ago by Ribera’s team with the intention of repatriating Leandro Paredes. World champion, midfielder of the Argentina national team, released from Casa Amarilla Inferiores. I always cherished the desire to develop myself at the right age. Moreover, he wants to take advantage of the fact that Riquelme, with whom he has a very good relationship since he was a colleague at the beginning of the last decade, is still in the position of president, to return under his wing.

But the most interesting news is that Gago picked up the phone, dialed the number in Italy and personally contacted the central midfielder to inform him of his desire to have him at the club next year. He wants to speed up his management ahead of the 2025 Super Club World Cup, which Boca qualified for through the Conmebol rankings.

His contract in Rome expires in June 2025, but it remains to be seen what he will do with his future.. Just as it is possible that he will don the blue and gold, it cannot be ruled out that he will renew his relationship or even sign with another club to continue his career in European football.

Players who passed through the hands of Fernando Gago and are interested in Boca

Other names pointed out by the Football Board are the name Gonzalo Piovi, the defender who showed his best version at Racing de Gago, even going so far as to become a first-team player and a frequent taker of penalties and free kicks.

Ex-Colon was sold to Cruz Azul from Mexico for $3.5 million in December 2023. His contract does not end until 2026. However, Boca need to find someone who can alleviate the losses of Nicolas Valentini, who will leave at the end of the year, and Aaron Anselmino, who will leave for Chelsea in June after completing his loan at Xeneise. That’s why, Piovi’s option sounds attractive. They think of him more as a left centre-back than a striker because that position is already occupied by Lautaro Blanco and they prefer him to take the place of Marcos Rojo, recently beset by muscle injuries.

In this sense, the Ribera club has hinted that they have a real and concrete interest in Valentin Gomez. The reason is the same: they would like to have a better left-back. The problem is that the young player from Veles is not very interested in wearing the blue and gold uniform. His father even retweeted a post saying that his son “He already warned that he does not play in this small club.” (SIC), so the chances have decreased. What is certain is that they will be looking for one of the two.

What about Anibal Moreno? Although he was one of the mainstays of that Racing that participated in the 2022 League Cup and the Professional League of the same season, reality shows that there are no negotiations for his return from Palmeiras, who paid $7,000,000 for his inclusion in December 2023 . In turn, Ignacio Miramon is the manager’s favorite and will be appointed to lead the midfield. The Gago era has begun and the Boca world knows it.
