Bocca: who are the players trained in the club that Riquelme is trying to locate in Europe

While Hugh Ibarra get ready for Sunday night’s game at Banfield for the seventh round of the championship, in Mouth I’m ahead of my time. And they are thinking beyond the next matches, with an eye on the draw for the Copa Libertadores (it will be on March 27, in Luque, Paraguay) and with a gigantic market window in Europe which already has its first movements in the surnames that belong to the club and which will be, for several months, names that will resonate in the Old Continent.

From the club they understand, as never in recent times, that the Football planet He put his magnifying glass on Argentina. Is it a coincidence? The “World Effect” with Messi and company champions in Qatar has boosted much of what was already happening with market opportunities (in Argentina, with the dollar so devalued, sales are almost inevitable). but also for the strong irruption and resale of young people of these latitudes: Enzo Fernández, Julián Álvarez and Alexis Mac Allister. Also Alcaraz (Southampton), Perrone (Manchester City) and Facundo Buonanotte (Brigthon) in the last market were an anticipation of what will be the summer break for Europe: they arrive for the Argentine talent.

In this context, while San Lorenzo has already confirmed the sale of Gattoni and Lanús awaits De la Vega’s proposals, Boca is aware that they have a quantity and quality that is in the international window. Of the squad of nearly 30 professionals, 15 are club juniors who have the potential for a move abroad. Some have also received surveys, offers and it is known that in June there will be at least one or two sales.

Agostino Sandez (they looked for him from Turkey), Exequiel Zeballos (apart from injuries, he is a player on the European agenda), Christian Medina (Villarreal consulted for him in January), Alan Varella (from Germany, England and Spain have already contacted the club for the pass, to which they will try to transfer by retaining a percentage of their file), Ezekiel Fernandez (already playing in the Tigre he had proposals to emigrate), Luca Langoni (his ability to score aroused interest in Italy), Luis Vazquez (Almería of Spain follows in his footsteps), e Valentine boat (Getafe volunteered for him) are just some of the guys on this stage. Also there are Javier Morales, Nahuel Genez, Gabriel Aranda, Lautaro Di Lollo and even Leandro Brey, followed by the Premier League. They are all on the lists of scouts who bring players to the Old World.

While Boca’s boys don’t just play for Boca. And from other sites they can also leave millions in the treasury. Furthermore Mateo Retegui (club will ask $2.4m for 50 percent of pass executed by Tigre and then secured another $2.5m in near transfer abroad) and Aaron Molinas, the number of footballers who are in other institutions can return or make the direct leap, such as Vicente Taborda or Maximiliano Zalazar, today in Platense. ​

Riquelme’s lightning move to Villarreal playing the game of Legends will also serve as a first approach to a series of meetings and interviews that will take place in recent months with various institutions interested in being with players who grow up in the Boca Predio. And Boca’s treasury (today with a million-dollar surplus) could also have unusual income mid-year. With a policy already known in advance in the bowels of the Football Council: Boca will fight much harder to maintain pass rates or future sales than to set a high starting figure or millionaire exit clauses. Is that once you set foot in Europe, the prices go up between clubs.
