Varela, one of the team’s figures in obtaining the two-time championship this season, was surveyed by two European clubs: Barcelona, from Spain, and Bayer Leverkusen, from Germany.
This week a rumor arose (not denied by the circle of relatives), according to which the vice president of Boca, Juan Román Riquelme, had a talk with Xavi, coach of the Catalan club, interested in the services of the central midfielder.
Varela joined the list of Covid infections in which the coach Hugo Ibarra and the soccer players Esteban Rolón, Sebastian Villa, Carlos Zambrano and Juan Ramírez were already on.
The first four are already back in the preseason and the ex-San Lorenzo would rejoin next Monday.
The squad will return to training tomorrow in a double shift and at night it will be concentrated in a hotel in the Ezeiza area.
On Sunday the players will work in the morning and in the afternoon they will have free time to watch the World Championship final between the Argentine and French teams at home.
From Monday they will continue to work a double shift until Thursday the 22nd of this month, then they will have leave for the end of the year holidays and will resume the preseason on January 2, 2023.
