In Boca they knew, when they managed to Valentine Boat will renew only for one year, that the clause they had to reluctantly accept (US$ 10 million) in fact meant that ‘Colo’ could leave whenever he wanted. The thing is that this money for European clubs is a breakfastand for the great Europeans it is even less, barely a crescent…
And in this hot January of 2024, with Boca even out of Libertadores, the board now also formally headed by Juan Román Riquelme could not even tempt the youth with that of “sports glory.” That’s why it wasn’t surprising that Barco urged Boca, Román specifically, to accept the 10.5 million dollars that Brighton offered, because if he doesn’t he will pay the 10 million of that clause, say hello and leave anyway.
The English, almost as red as the youth because they know that they take advantage of Boca, somewhat improved the 9 million that Boca rejected a few days ago, and even left 10% of the redhead’s pass for Boca in a future sale. It is known that Brighton is a second-tier club in the Premier League, of a certain level like all Europeans, but far from the two Manchester clubs, Arsenal, even Liverpool… That’s why if Barco breaks it in Brighton, he will surely jump to the bigger checks at one of those big ones, or at some other European giant…
The ball is now on the ‘Riquelmista’ side, and Roman will have to dribble to avoid being the big loser in this story, because Boca is 48 hours away from losing its most promising player for just 10 million dollars. which means a major management failure. Many opinions can be heard on the subject, perhaps Boca has not had many options, the only thing certain is that for Boca it is a pyrrhic business. Almost catastrophic. It will also imply accepting that in this daily chess of passes and representatives, that of Barco, Adrian Rouco, He managed to get the youth to leave the place where he was trained for a minimum dollar amount.
Those who praise Riquelme against all odds, a large majority as seen in the recent Boca election, will surely say that Barco and his representative always aimed for a European exit with their own pockets, and that the return for Boca could be even worse if he did not They agreed to sign a year ago, accepting the conditions imposed by the youth team, since in that case they could have left for free simply waiting for the previous weak contract to end.
But beyond the makeup that is attempted “from the locker room outwards”, Barco’s snub to Boca and Román in particular, will take time to be forgotten. In fact, the boy was the only xeneize player with a certain European destiny, a promise of some interesting money. So we will have to wait until Tuesday to see if Boca accepts the English ‘offer’, if they try to resist through some legal means, and if Barco takes the check for 10 million. Football, we know, is a business, it is played for money, the shirts are for the shopping malls and the fans. And in this particular matter, Román’s incipient second management in Boca has to endure this very difficult ‘Mouse Gigio’ of the youth team, who is also part of Mascherano’s National Team.
As a final detail of the tense situation that exists in Brandsen 805, it is worth remembering that Brighton had already been interested in ‘Colo’ last year, but at that time Boca had Libertadores on the horizon, Barco wanted to play in that tournament and agreed to sign for one year. The clause remained at 10 million, and if it was paid in the last 20 days of the transfer market it would rise to 14 million dollars, a period that will end precisely this Tuesday the 9th.
In the last hours, Brighton increased the offer it had presented a few days ago, adding 500 thousand dollars to 10 million for 90 percent of the pass: Boca would keep that remaining 10 from a future sale. Although the improvement was minor, it was almost a “goodwill” gesture from the English club.
The Premier League team had already shown interest in the Buenos Aires player during the last transfer market, but at that time Barco had intentions of staying to play in the Copa Libertadores and, for this reason, he signed and stayed. Now wait until Tuesday to see what Román says.
