Milei insists on SAD in Argentine football and returns to talk about Boca’s elections: “I’m not angry with Riquelme”

President Javier Milei insisted this Sunday with the possibility of implementing the Sports joint-stock company in Argentine football because “investments come quickly and it’s an easy deal” and he reiterated this Chelsea from England is interested in buying Boca, Racing, Newell’s, Lanús and Estudiantes La Plata. Furthermore, he spoke again about the Boca elections and assured that he was not “angry”. Juan Roman Riquelmewho he accused of having sent people to insult him when he went to vote in La Bombonera for the opposition list led by Andrés Ibarra AND Maurizio MacrHey.

“The interesting thing about SAD in football is that the investment comes very quickly. Because it’s a very easy business. You don’t have to create huge machinery, because building a facility can take you, I don’t know, two years. There is a willingness to invest expressed by Chelsea, in the case of wanting to purchase Boca, Racing, Newell’s, Lanús and Estudiantes”, reiterated Milei in dialogue with Radio Mitre, beyond the fact that this alleged interest in some Argentine clubs was spread on social media by a YouTuber and later denied by sources close to the American owners of the London team.

Milei rejected that the inclusion of the SAD in the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) 70/2023 does not have an imperative nature: “It is a necessity and an urgency. There are Arab groups that plan to invest almost 3 billion dollars and for us. If the increase in savings has a counterpart in investments, the adjustment is less painful, less activity decreases, the less jobs are lost,” the libertarian leader said.

“There are Chelsea’s intentions, there are Arabs’ intentions and it seems to me that it is something that generates an impact quickly,” he added.

“I’m a Boca fan If investment groups come and put a fortune into Boca and this means that Boca always wins and River can’t win a single match, the question is: where do I sign?“, suggested Milei, who also assured that he will respect those clubs that decide to continue as non-profit civil associations.

He subsequently referred again to his participation in the Boca elections last December. “I’m not angry with Riquelme. You know what you do and you know the conditions in which you play. I knew they would send people to insult me, I already knew it, I already had the information. For me it was important to clarify the Argentina we want. In any part of the world, if the president of the nation goes to vote, the club should be proud, but Riquelme sent people to insult me,” he denounced.

“Will I let myself be intimidated? Will I let myself be pressured by the president of a football club? It seems to me that it is not appropriate. And much less will he do it to me. And then a question of loyalty towards President Macri and a question of gratitude towards his comparisons Martin PalermO. The best moments I spent on the Boca pitch were with Palermo. And the best moments I experienced off the pitch were thanks to Martín Palermo. Among other memories I would like to point out the day of the final with Real Madrid”, he concluded.
