Martín Palermo played 80 games and scored 20 goals for Villarreal between 2001 and 2003. There were three seasons for the Titano in the Yellow Submarine in which he left a beautiful memory in the management and in the crowd. That’s why the current Platense coach will be present on Saturday 25 at the Estadio de la Cerámica to participate in the “Partido de las Leyendas” for the club’s 100th anniversary. And there he will once again share the dressing room and the pitch with Juan Román Riquelme.

At the Estadio de la Cerámica he will meet again in a dressing room with Juan Roman Riquelme. Together they have been multiple champions in Boca, but in Villarreal they have not shared the squad. Palermo and Riquelme are known to have had no friendly relations while playing for Boca, but they have always praised each other

Riquelme, who had already confirmed his presence at Villarreal, will also take advantage of the trip to Europe to listen to the offers for at least 16 Boca players trained at the Ezeiza headquarters.

The second vice president of Xeneize has pending calls 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 offered for him). Also there are Javier Morales, Nahuel Genez, Gabriel Aranda, Lautaro Di Lollo and even Leandro Brey, followed by the Premier League.

But now Riquelme also has other problems to solve. Sunday’s defeat against Institute accelerated times and in these hours the Boca Football Council defines the continuity of Hugo Ibarra as coach of the team. On Saturday at 19:00, in Chaco, El Negro could lead his last match: it will be against Olimpo for the Argentine Cup. Will Martín Palermo be an option to put on the DT diver?

It is worth mentioning that when Palermo visited the Bombonera for the fourth round of the Professional Championship (Boca beat Platense 3-1) they received a standing ovation from the crowd and were honored by the club. Which makes it clear that there is no hostility in the relationship between Román and the former striker.

Boca’s big challenge for this year is once again the Copa Libertadores. The team’s participation in this competition will be crucial for the elections to be held in December at the club. According to what has been learned, Román will try to go from Villarreal to Luque for the draw on Monday 27, when the group stage will be defined and the Xeneize rivals will meet.
