In Brazil they know that it will not be an easy task to convince Vice President Juan Román Riquelme that he commands the club’s football and, according to Brazilian press sources, they will put two million dollars to now take the footballer who was one of the figures of the two-time Argentine champion in 2022.
The goalkeeper, whose exit clause is 15 million dollars, always had the idea of playing abroad, according to comments from those close to the footballer, and he already has a four-year verbal agreement with “Mengao.”
Beyond the interest of “Fla”, to whom the Club World Cup is coming, we will have to wait if Boca will accept these numbers or force Rossi to comply until the last day of his stay at La Ribera. More than a month ago, on November 25, the Football Council and Rossi’s representative met in a cordial atmosphere, but the situation was not unraveled and, despite the fact that an improvement was made to his contract, they were very far from the economic claims of the goalkeeper. A similar case happened with Cristian Pavón, who went free in June last year to Atlético Mineiro, but did not play any games in the first semester.
In the same position is Agustín Almendra, who practices with the reserve and in the middle of the year he will be released and, surely, he will continue his career at Cruzeiro in Brazil.
The issue that remains to be seen is whether Rossi complies with the rest of his record, if he will be taken into account by coach Hugo Ibarra or if he will have Sergio Romero play, who joined last August, has already recovered from his knee operation right and is doing the preseason.
Meanwhile, the squad began the third part of the preseason at the Ezeiza property, which will be a double shift, after which they will meet at a hotel in the area, with the novelty of the expected return of midfielder Ezequiel Fernández.
The 20-year-old midfielder spent a year on loan at Tigre, who tried to keep him for another season, but Ibarra has it in his plans and now he will have to renew his relationship with the club, which ends on December 31 of this year. .
Defenders Renzo Giampaoli and Oscar Salomón, midfielder Rodrigo Montes and forward Lucas Brochero returned from different loans.
On January 7, Boca will face Independiente at the Estadio Bicentenario in the province of San Juan and, on the 13th, they will do the same against Everton from Chile at the same venue.
A week later they will fly to Abu Dhabi, where they will play the International Super Cup against Racing at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium on the 20th.
