What stays, what goes. What saves, what does not save. Which renews, which does not renew. Agustín Rossi’s novel in Boca seems to have no end. The concrete thing is that the goalkeeper, who was not considered for the International Super Cup final that his team lost against Racing in the United Arab Emirates, will end his relationship with the La Ribera club on June 30 and from that from now on he will defend the colors of Flamengo from Brazil, with whom he has an agreed pre-contract.
The million dollar question is knowing what the man who emerged in Chacarita and has a past in Estudiantes and Lanús will do in these five months and days. The first response came after the heartbreaking defeat of Al Ain with the penalty scored by Gonzalo Piovi. Hugo Ibarra, DT del Boca, warned in the press conference that he will not take it into account.
“A Brazilian team has confirmed a pre-contract signed with Rossi and I’ve decided that this year everyone has to commit 100 percent, that’s why that was the decision. I work with 29-30 players and I want them committed,” said l ‘trainer .
When asked why if he wouldn’t use it, the goalkeeper still traveled to Abu Dhabi, he replied: “The idea was to take the whole team, even the players who were injured traveled.”
Once Rossi saw from the crowd how Javier García, with a good performance, took possession of the goal and how Leandro Brey was left as an alternative on the substitutes’ bench, a rumor began to circulate strongly in the United Arab Emirates that spoke of the possible permanence of the player in the Middle East.
How come? Because Rossi would have received an offer from to nasrthe team where he arrived recently Cristiano Ronaldoto join the squad to replace the Colombian David Ospinawho suffered a broken elbow and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.
As it turned out, the Arab club would pay almost a million dollars to have Rossi until June 30th. That is the proposal they transferred to Boca to see if they decide to give it up or if they keep him until the arrival of July 1st. There were even rumors that the player would not get on the plane back to Buenos Aires. However, in the next few hours he will arrive in Ezeiza.
The amount that Al Nassr would pay for the loan would triple the compensation Flamengo asked once the pre-contract was approved, which is around $300,000. It is known that the popular Rio de Janeiro club would be interested in having Rossi for the Club World Cup to be held next February in Morocco. However, it seems difficult for him to further extend his offer given that in months he will have it available without making any kind of expense from club to club.
