Edinson Cavani and the winter novel: the real chances of going to Boca and why no one accelerates from the Bombonera

72 hours after the closing of the pass book in Argentina, Uruguay has launched the ban: for the first time in all this time, Edinson Cavani analyzes the possibility of reaching South American football for the World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year, in a situation similar to that which occurred to Luis Suárez shortly before wearing the Nacional de Montevideo shirt. DoAre there any real chances that he will reach Boca? Why don’t they speed up for him this time from the club?

A year ago, before the arrival of Darío Benedetto, the Football Council had made a direct move: they offered and let the then Manchester United player understand what was the maximum amount of money they could give him to join the club. But the Uruguayan striker remained in England to fulfill the contract and they moved to Boca to have the scorer arrived from Elche. And there were no more flirts, despite Riquelme’s good personal comings and goings with the striker who shone at PSG and Napoli.

What has changed now? Like Suárez, the coach of the Uruguayan national team, Diego Alonso, has been energetic with his football players and asked them to seek out destinations where they have constant friction and competition ahead of the year-end World Cup event. And there around Cavani began to move pieces.

In Boca they remain in their waiting posture, motionless, aware of entering an offer for the attacker is unequal for economic reasons and also for waiting times. While Europe closes its doors in a month, Brazil in ten days and the MLS in two weeks, the transfer window in Argentina ends on Monday.

Without Rossi’s okay for an exorbitant renewal of the numbers, the economic engineering in case Cavani decides to pick up the phone and get closer to the Brandsen 805 is done. And there is no more to offer him for two reasons: there is no longer an emergency in the search for a heavy striker and the transfer of Luis Vázquez to Belgian football has not been closed either. If Edinson is willing to wear blue and yellow, he will have to do so with the same rules that were set a year ago. This is why Riquelme and company do not delude themselves or anticipate the facts. Because the player should also seal the good of him in hours: there is no more time.

Is it possible that Boca will accept that Cavani will only play until December as Suárez would have done at the River? Without the urgency of looking for a ticket to the Copa Libertadores next year and with a clear cut after Battaglia’s departure, it’s not alluring. The contract that was always offered was for 18 months. And so it continues in the offices of Boca Predio de Ezeiza, in the event that the 35-year-old striker sends a WhatsApp with the green light to arrive in Argentina.

The latest news has all come from Montevideo in recent days. And it seemed like a public message sufficient to attract other proposals. It is that Cavani has not yet received any phone calls from the seductive teams of the Old Continent, despite the alternatives being able to pay in euros and Boca in the official dollar. Not only Villarreal are following in his footsteps. Borussia Dortmund and France also have it in their briefcase. Are those ideal destinations for what Diego Alonso asked you for the World Cup? In Boca, this time, they just wait.
