The president of Newell’s assured that “everything has already been agreed with Banega” and made it clear that he would not “steal him” from Boca

Ever Banega will be a player for Newell’s. At least this was stated by the president of the Rosario club, Ignacio Astore, who said he was optimistic and said that the negotiation is very advanced. “The film isn’t finished yet, it’s already underway. But the details are missing, the lawyers are speaking”he explained in conversation with TyC Sports.

“We’ve already got it agree on the numbers, the conditions, the forms. They just have to finish the contracts both on the part of Ever and on the part of the institutions, prepare them and sign them”, added Astore.

The one who had taken the initiative to retain Banega’s services was Boca. In the epilogue of 2023, everything indicated that the Football Council led by Juan Román Riquelme, the new president of Ribera’s club, had already agreed “orally” with the player to return to the club. However, at the dawn of 2024, the story was reversed, Newell’s got in the way and remained with the Rosario footballer.

“We believe he is an institution player. We have already looked for him on other occasions and we had no luck due to the contracts he had and we called him a couple of months ago“, things happened so that he could return and I hope that we end up, as everyone wants, that he is in our institution”, clarified Astore.

And he concluded: “There is a leader who has an excellent relationship with Ever and the dialogue is permanent. It’s not that we signed a Boca player, I absolutely don’t want to accept this attribution. Things happened so that Newell’s could enter the conversation and I hope it comes to fruition.”

“We don’t know what Boca offered him or when he made it. I don’t think he comes just for the money, I think he comes for the sporting challenge. But it’s something you have to ask him,” concluded the leader. .
