“Rossi is not leaving”: the cry of La Bombonera after the conflict over the renewal of the Boca Juniors goalkeeper

The ovation of the Bombonera to Agustin Rossi

Speak The Bombonera. This Saturday, in the run-up to the shock before Platense by the date 12 of the Professional League the public of Boca Juniors was forceful in demonstrating in favor of the continuity of Agustín Rossithe goalkeeper who has been key in the last titles won by the club, especially for his saves on penalties.

After the leadership and representatives of the 26-year-old soccer player they will not reach an agreementthe player will not continue in the institution beyond June 2023, when he will go free, unless he is sold in the next few days or in the summer transfer window. It is clear that the partners of the Xeneize Most of them do not agree with this decision and that is why they expressed themselves from the stands.

“Rossi is from Boca and Boca does not leave”, was heard from all four sides of the field in a clearing when the soccer player went out to warm up, until the stadium speakers came on. Undoubtedly, the genuine cry from the public was an express request for the club to make an effort to keep the goalkeeper who has given so much joy to his people. In addition, when the players jumped onto the playing field, there was a standing ovation and applause for the former Defense and Justice.

This week the meeting between the parties took place and it lasted barely 10 minutes. Participated in the conclave Juan roman riquelme, Jorge Bermudez, the Chelo thin and boy It will be on behalf of the club, but when Rossi’s agent received a counter offer to the last one they had presented, they decided not to listen to it and consider the negotiation closed.

Due to the dizzying sporting growth of the goalkeeper who emerged from Chacarita Juniors – who played basketball as a boy and in his first training sessions as a professional in the Funebrero he played 9– and the unstable economic situation in the country, his contract was out of date. The dollar cap on their bond had been set at 50 pesos and since the beginning of 2020 charges one and a half million pesos (translated into US currency, between 4,000 and 5,000).

In theory, from the Council they offered Rossi a contract of $11 million gross -with a dollar at the official value- until December 2026. In hand, the player would have little more than $7 million over that four-year span. Miguel González, player representative, ensured that if the gross amount offered had been the net, there would have been an agreement. But not.

Unless the Boca Juniors leadership decides to change its position after hearing the cry of its partners this Saturday, Agustín Rossi will cease to be a Boca goalkeeper in mid-2023, or even earlier, if a suitable offer arrives.
