The story of Agostino Mandorla Y Mouth it is full of ups and downs. They say that from love to hate there is only one step and there are those who also say that love and hate are very similar. What is certain is that the player and the members of the football board They are not indifferent to what happens in their bond and now look for a way out that will put an end to the novel, although it is far from ideal.
At the moment, Juan Roman riquelme he said Almendra would “Go as high as you set out”. The quality of the steering wheel is indisputable, but his physique and character have conspired for this present in which he is marginalized from the Primera campus and with one foot out of the club.
Almendra still has a couple of weeks to recover from the injury that drags his ankle. Before the start of the 20/21 season, with Miguel Russo as DT, in the last friendly before the competition against Sarmiento de Junín, he received a kick that has mistreated him ever since.

When it was separated from Sebastiano BattagliaAlmendra took advantage of this and went to the operating room to undergo surgery and give a definitive solution to the physical problem. They want me to play from the clubeven if it is in Reserve, so that it can be shown and thus get an offer.
Boca has decided to sell him, but there are no proposals for the 22-year-old midfielder. And there isn’t much help from the player’s environment. Almendra has changed representative four times in the past four years. In the past two years, San Francisco-born footballer Solano has played very little. He had a few minutes with Russo and then started shooting with Battaglia until he argued with the coach and the referees.
In this context, Almendra has taken the decision – and has already communicated it to the Council – not to renew the contract with Boca and, if an offer does not appear, it will be free in June 2023. The player – cautious – announced at leading his decision a year in advance so that they look for an offer and can continue his career at another club.

Boca needs to sell. It has been a while since he managed to close a major cash operation and Almendra’s departure gave them that chance. But since he doesn’t play, there are no concrete proposals for a big ticket sale. All the offers that have arrived so far for the player are on loan and Boca cannot lend it because Almendra will be free in June next year and would remain with the pass in his possession when he returns from office.
To go on loan with a redemption option, Almendra would have to accept the contract renewal, but the player has already taken a stand. So what the club wants is for the representative to make a specific offer, albeit a low one.. That way they would keep a percentage for a future sale, but at least the situation would be unlocked and Almendra could show his skill on the pitch.
Almendra is not contributing to the club at the moment and Boca cannot sell it because the player does not play. When he was removed from the squad after the fight with Battaglia, in Boca they decided that he would have to play in the Reserve to be able to show it. The same would happen now, but since Almendra doesn’t come from the physical, it’s not even a possibility. And at Boca they know that having him in the club is no longer a solution.
