Boca vs Platense: how the teams arrive at the start of the season
Boca’s transfer market generated criticism from some fans on social networks. After the departure of Valentín Barco, one of the team’s most important players, the arrivals of Cristian Lema, free from Lanús, and Kevin Zenón, from Unión, were announced.
In addition, Boca, which this season will not participate in the Copa Libertadores de América and will play in the Copa Sudamericana, could announce the arrival of Lautaro Blanco, from Elche in Spain, in the coming days.
Looking ahead to the debut, Boca will not have Nicolás Valentini, Exequiel Fernández, Cristian Medina and Leandro Brey, affected by the Venezuelan Under-23 Olympic Qualifiers.
In the case of Marcelo Saracchi, who was going to start, in recent days he suffered a muscle injury, so he will not be part of the debut. The same in the case of Marcos Rojo, who was torn before the first friendly and is recovering.
For his part, Platense suffered a strong turnover at the player level, while Martín Palermo left his place on the substitute bench and was replaced by Sebastián Grazzini.
The “Brown” suffered several weight losses such as those of Ramiro Macagno -one of the pillars of the campaign-, Juan Infante, Nicolás Morgantini, Franco Díaz and Nicolás Castro.
The arrivals were Iván Gómez (Students), Ignacio Vázquez (bought the pass from All Boys), Braian Rivero (Defense and Justice), Agustín Quiroga (loan from Independiente), Juan Ignacio Saborido (General Caballero), Juan Pablo Cozzani (loan from Deportivo Maipú), Fernando Juárez (on loan from Talleres), Óscar Salomón (on loan from Boca), Agustín Obando (on loan from Boca) and Carlos Vilalba (on loan from Talleres).
