In a pass market that went from low to high, Xeneize added people to the attack front but also received a resounding no from Huracán for one of those targeted by the Football Council.
Contrary to the other teams, Mouth He began to move the chips in the transfer market, to the limit of its completion. Far from the other teams that closed the arrival of new faces in the middle of the market, when the xeneize added two players in recent days and still has intentions of increasing that number.
The first to arrive was the Paraguayan bruno valdez, coming from América de México who comes to cover one of the biggest potholes that Hugo Ibarra had in the squad with the injury of Marcos Rojo and the departure of Carlos Zambrano. The 33-year-old center-back has already had his presentation and complied, earning, for now, the support of the coaching staff and the fans.
This is how Bruno Valdez plays, the new reinforcement of Boca
When it seemed that the transfer market in Boca had already remained closed, the possibility of adding hierarchy and competition to the attack front appeared. No space in Palmeiras, Miguel Merentiel emerged to compete with Dario BenedettoLuis Vasquez and Nicolas Orsini. The former Defense and Justice after a great season in Argentine soccer, had arrived at the São Paulo team in 2022 but he did not have the filming that he imagined, that is why the possibility of reaching Boca tempted him a lot. This is how the Football Council accelerated the negotiations to add him to its ranks. In a fleeting agreement between the parties, Boca achieved the arrival of the forward champion of the Cup and Recopa Sudamericana with the Halcón de Varela on loan for a year with purchase option that would be around 3 million dollars.
In this way, the 26-year-old Uruguayan striker comes to bring more competition to the squad and perhaps “wake up” Benedetto with the idea that he cannot continue to give up ground or to adapt to a team that plays with two center forwards. A great reinforcement for Boca taking into account all the fronts on which they compete, in addition to considering Vásquez’s injury, the pending account by Orsini to finish settling in Xeneize and the weak moment of “Pipa”.

Another player who may prefer a reinforcement is the return of Ezequiel “Equi” Fernández. After his season on loan at Tigre, the youth who emerged from the club’s youth ranks convinced CdF to bring him back to join the squad. So far it seems to be a correct market for the aspirations they had in Boca to bring what is fair and necessary, showing conformity with the existing squad. Now, there were two cases in which, despite his intentions, in Boca I got more than negative answers.
The first one is about Mateo Retegui, another of the youth players that emerged from the club. The son of “Chapa” entered 2019 in that constant fluttering of loans by different teams, revealing the little interest that there was at the time on the part of Boca for the striker. That, of course, discomfort in the player, and that is when he responded to the last call from the club that formed him. Like Equi, Boca wanted to repatriate the striker but he set his conditions. He requested to be considered to be a starter on Ibarra’s team. The 23-year-old forward showed his credentials to make such a request since he comes from being the top scorer in the tournament with 19 goals, in addition to the great level he presented at Matador. In a broken relationship, from the La Ribera team they did not give him the go-ahead, thus missing a chance to score one of the best points in recent times at the local level.
In another negotiation where Boca received a resounding no, it was with the intention of bringing in Lucas Merolla, defender of Huracán. The novel of the transfer market was the Boca-Huracán negotiation for “Flaco” Merolla. That it came, that it didn’t, that a pre-contract was signed, many twists and turns that ended in nothing, showing that the central defender is further and further away from joining the “Negro” Ibarra squad. david garzon, president of Globo, showed the club’s disagreement with Boca’s offer and was emphatic in his response. “Merolla is not going to leave Huracan as a gift. We will not have money, but we will have dignity”, affirmed the head honcho of the Parque Patricios complex. Xeneize’s offer would have been around 2 million dollars, something far removed from the claims of his current club. “I would also like to have Benedetto for 2 million, huh. Merolla is not worth less because his contract expires, ”said the Quemero president, assuring that Boca is far from his claims. In this way, after Garzón’s words, the future of the 27-year-old defender is closer to Europe, with clubs that have conducted surveys, than landing on the last Argentine soccer champion.
