Boca met Agustín Rossi and made him a “giant proposal” to continue in the club

Twelve days after the closing of the transfer market of those teams that have sold players abroad, Boca is still on the move between surnames that seem to arrive (Adonis Frías has once again expressed the desire to join the club) and others who can emigrate ( Luis Vázquez, to Europa) while in the intimacy of Boca Predio de Ezeiza the priorities go elsewhere. it is as expected Clarione days ago, the negotiations for the renewal of Agostino Rossi they were about to resume, which happened this Tuesday.

Jorge Bermudez, a strongman from the Football Council, defined the meeting as follows: “We had a very quiet meeting with Agustín’s representative and with the player. we did it a giant proposal and now we expect a resolution in the next few days ”.

The goalkeeper, 60 days ago, received the club’s proposal to extend his bond by four years with a salary that doubled what he had signed since 2018, with a dollar now out of date. Something his representative made clear in his latest public appearances.

But the counteroffer made to Boca threw unattainable requirements for any Argentine soccer team. is that in addition to ask for about $ 2 million As a bonus to signing up for the extension, the team’s starting goalkeeper’s agent requested a salary that doubled the best pay in the current squad. Impossible and unachievable, in times of the country’s economic crisis.

The only thing they could agree on was that the new link had to be maintained with an updated dollar at the official price, already without appearances like the one that Rossi had signed for driving at the time of Daniel Angelici, which led to the devaluation of the contract of a player who spent a year in Lanús after the arrival of Esteban Andrada at the request of Guillermo Fanghi Schelotto .

The cards today are on the table with the idea of ​​both parties looking for an agreement. In the mouth improved initial offer, bringing Agustín Rossi’s salary figure to the value agreed by Carlos Tevez, an idol of the institution, in his last year at the club. And to elevate the key man of the last two titles (Argentina Cup and League Cup) to the step of the best payouts in the squad, something that has been earned through pure performance from definitions to penalties in the last year.

Even so, the values ​​are still far from what was required by the former Chacarita and Estudiantes de La Plata: a contract higher than the one Luis Suárez would have signed at River if he arrived for the Copa Libertadores …

And the possibility of a sale to prevent the player from emigrating free? Boca, far from closing to that possibility, opened the game to the player’s agent to submit a proposal. But until now there was only one Flamengo interest for just two million. Although the European market is open, Miguel González – the player’s representative – also said that “Agustin’s idea is to stay and play for Boca”. Charge a European contract or more depending on the country?

With so much more to talk about, and with money at the center of the scene, Rossi (he has already played 133 games for the club, with 5 titles won) has the opportunity to put his pass at an even higher price in every game. or begin to weaken it.

But he also has the time in his favor, with the possibility of dealing as a free agent (an increasingly widespread trend in the world of football) from January. This is why the talks started two months ago and resumed yesterday are now entering in a final stretch. Because the bow of Boca must have certainties.
