A few hours before the match with Defensa y Justicia, Vélez presented Walter Bou, just former Halcón and second reinforcement of Fortín, who this week has already made the announcement and the press conference of the Uruguayan Diego Godín. And it is not excluded that in the next few hours the arrival of Colón’s goalkeeper, Leonardo Burián, will be confirmed.
“I am already focused on the match with River,” said Bou, generating the illusion of Fortunate fans who think only of Wednesday’s match (at 21:30) at the Amalfitani stadium for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, which will be defined in the Monumental seven days later.
The 28-year-old forward expressed his happiness: “” I am coming with many expectations. I can’t wait to play in the Cup and live up to what Vélez is; I’m already focused on the match against the River, a very important match. “
Furthermore, the striker who will wear Vélez’s number 20 shirt said that since playing for Defense last weekend in Mendoza, the next few days have been mind-boggling to take this new step. “It happened suddenly, it’s true, but I didn’t hesitate a second and said yes the first time they asked me if I wanted to come”, he replied this Saturday in contact with the press.
After coaching football in the Lower Divisions of Boca, the youngest of the Bou (the other player is Gustavo, 32, and currently in the MLS New England Revolution) was loaned to Gimnasia, where he made his Primera debut in the season. 2013/14. He defended the Wolf colors in 30 games and scored 9 goals. In the 2015/16 season he returned to Xeneize to play 60 games and score 15 conquests. There he was crowned champion of the 2016/17 First Division Tournament and the 2018 Super League.
In the second half of 2018, Bou was loaned to Vitoria in Brazil, where he barely played eight games until arriving in early 2019 at Unión La Calera in Chile, where his average was 6 goals. in 21 games.
Upon his return to his homeland, he wore the Unión de Santa Fe jersey, leaving a record of 24 games and 7 shouts, and in 2020 he moved to Boca, but only played three games before moving to Defense and Justice in bel in the midst of a pandemic. There, he performed at a high level by winning Halcón’s only two international titles (South American and Recopa 2021) and contributed 23 goals in 76 games, as well as providing assists in another 17 goals.
Thus, with continuity in Halcón, it is almost a given that Bou will be available to face the River in four days, which is not so clear with Godín, who has an injury and is recovering with work in the gym, too. if the Uruguayan declared that he “wants excessively” to play that key duel for Vélez’s year.

Despite two confirmations of hierarchical reinforcements in a rare pass market for the world for the date of the Qatar World Cup, the Liniers club aims to bring a goalkeeper and the chosen one would be Leonardo Burián, one of Colón’s figures despite his 38 years.
According to the newspaper Uno de Santa Fe, the Uruguayan goalkeeper has reached an agreement with the Colón management to terminate the contract and switch to the team led by his compatriot, Cacique Medina.
Burián had an exit clause on June 30, but in order to be able to enter the list of Libertadores for Vélez in good faith, he must resign from a debt of around $ 300,000, according to the Santa Fe newspaper.
As the deadline for submitting the bona fide lists of the continental contest expires this Saturday at 6pm, it is likely that it will be known whether that (or other names) will appear on the Vélez list, where Carlos Lampe and Agustín Bouzat have released their share. , at the same time that Sebastián Sosa Sánchez and Mateo Pellegrino could leave.
