Boca have re-signed Valentini: if he doesn’t renew he will no longer play in Martínez’s team

Boca have made a strong decision regarding the future of Nicolás Valentini. Just two days after the duel against Godoy Cruz, this Tuesday at 7.30pm in La Bombonera, The club has decided that it will not consider the central defender due to his contractual situation.. In this way, the 23-year-old blonde will be a victim of Diego Martínez in a key match for his team’s qualification to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.

The connection of Valentini with Boca he expires at the end of the year. The player, through his agent, has been talking to the Football Council for some time about his renewal. A few days ago, Boca offered him to be one of the highest paid players in the team. And when it seemed like everything was going right, the defender stood up. He considers the bluoro proposal insufficient. The desire is to continue my career abroad.

At Boca they believe he is pressing because he wants to keep the pass in his possession. Valentini is not a starter, he alternates with Cristian Lema, Nicolás Figal and Marcos Rojo in the center of defense, but those around him assure that it is time to make the leap and be transferred.

It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that this happened after the player was called up to the Argentine national team. He was part of Lionel Scaloni’s team, even though he didn’t play a minute in the matches against El Salvador and Costa Rica. Even so, his call-up raised the price.

Juan Román Riquelme wants Valentini to sign a contract with the club until 2027 or 2028 and set a $15 million release clause that could be extended to $18 million if his transfer is finalized after the book closes.

With Cristian Medina and Equi Fernández there were no problems regarding the extension of their contracts. Valentini’s case could end up like that of Marcelo Weigandt, who after a long discussion managed to conclude a deal. The winger was loaned to Inter Miami.

Another possibility is that he ends up like Valentín Barco, who experienced the same situation until he was sold to Brighton in England. Complications also with Cristian Pavón and Agustín Rossi. The question being asked on the banks of the Riachuelo, especially the fans, is because the limits of the negotiations are reached. Sergio Romero is also involved in this mess.

As for the team that will play on Tuesday against the Mendoza team, Martínez will be forced to recover his cards. With the expulsion of Lautaro Blanco, the left back will be Marcelo Saracchi.
