The one by one of the Boca 2023 pass market

Boca closed the year without reinforcements. And even with one more casualty: Carlos Zambrano, who terminated his contract early due to a discussion with Hugo Ibarra. However, in the first hours of this 2023 the Xeneize will not only have a new facebut it is expected that some of the searches for reinforcements can be refloated, especially taking into account the challenges that lie ahead, with a final just around the corner: on Friday the 20th, against Racing, for the International Super Cup.

For now, Boca is very far from the line reinforcement that the Council had discussed with Hugo Ibarra as a cover for 2023. Here, then, one by one of the names that have different contractual situations and those that loomed as reinforcement possibilities that could modify the Xeneize transfer market at the start of the year…

As of this Sunday, January 1, the goalkeeper is able to sign a contract with another club. The rumor of his link to Flamengo is getting stronger and stronger. As it was, he will continue until June, but we have to see what the Council does with him at this time: will they hang him? Everything indicates that Sergio Romero will be the starter and that Javi García could start until he gets ready.

Al Pulpo’s contract expired this Saturday, so it remains to be seen if he will show up for training on Monday the 2nd. The idea is for it to continue, but its situation took too long and there are still no signs of agreement. His representative even waits for the Council to notify him of the formal offer to continue.

The former Tigre midfielder will join the preseason this Monday the 2nd since he had a contract with Matador until this Saturday. He has been preparing himself and for both Ibarra and the Council he is a reinforcement that could be very important for the media. In Victoria they want to keep him, but… In any case, the club should renew his link because in a year he will be free.

One of Riquelme’s weaknesses came back prematurely from Godoy Cruz de Mendoza. And he would also join the team starting tomorrow, although it is not defined if he will continue in the team or will be negotiated again.

Of those who returned to the club from other clubs, one of the most likely to remain on the squad together with Equi. In fact, he’s the only one back to train with the First. Marcos Rojo’s injury and Zambrano’s departure open up the chance for him to be the protagonist in defense: he will fight with Roncaglia to accompany Figal. In Aldosivi he consolidated himself as a starter and Ibarra’s idea is to give him a chance, beyond the fact that he needs it.

Loved by the people, but not by Ibarra (with whom he had no chance) and the Council (he wanted to give him up several times), the midfielder with the black boots knows that this time he will have to look for another horizon so as not to lose continuity. Tigre intends to take him away and it is a possibility under study.

From the outset he was a great candidate to arrive, but the negotiation went too cold. In fact, in the last hours, the president of Huracán, David Garzón, was specific about today’s discouraging panorama: “Because of Merolla I had only one communication with Riquelme before the World Cup. Afterwards there were no more offers,” he said. Boca is urgent in the background and perhaps now, with the departure of Zambrano, he will return to the charge.

The former Independiente player will move from Atlanta United to Sao Paulo in Brazil, which is why Boca’s interest also collapsed with this operation. He will go to the São Paulo club for three years, which is why he is another defender who falls off the radar, as has already happened with Walter Kannemann (renewed with Gremio) and Adonis Frías (went to León de México).

The Uruguayan had sounded strong as a possibility of a return and even the player had been enthusiastic about it, but his representative said that they had no contact with Boca. The Council made no moves and it is understood that it will not make them either.
