The defender Nicolás Valentini, who is currently away from Boca’s professional squad, has already agreed to become a new Fiorentina player from Italy.
The central defender trained separately throughout the season due to the refusal to renew his contract.
In April of this year, both parties had met to agree on a new contract, but the player was not satisfied.
The 23-year-old defender was demanding retroactive compensation for his salary, having spent a whole year on a salary similar to that of a reserve player.
He also wanted to keep his release clause at 10 million dollars, while the “Xeneize” leadership tried to raise it to 18 million in the US currency.
Faced with this disagreement, the club quickly decided to let go of the player, whose contract expires at the end of this year.
The increase in remuneration requested by Valentini was accompanied by his performance.
The centre-back had the best performance of his sporting career last season.
He earned a spot as left back on the team Jorge AlmironHe was an important part of the club’s qualification for the Copa Libertadores final and was also a starter in the South American Pre-Olympic Tournament, with which Argentina won a place in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
And as if that were not enough, he was cited by Lionel Scaloni for some friendly matches with the senior team.
The date of his arrival to the Florence team is not yet defined.
In principle he will arrive in January of next year, when he is already a free agent, although the signing could happen now if they agree on an amount that Fiorentina be willing to pay.
In the Italian team he will be a teammate of several Argentines, among whom are the defender Lucas Martinez Quartathe midfielder Gino Infantino and the forwards Nicolas Gonzalez and Lucas Beltran.
