The “xeneize” squad will return to practices tomorrow at the Casa Amarilla property, to then be concentrated in a hotel in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Monserrat.
Finally, this Thursday the arrival of defender Lucas Merolla could not be specified, who late yesterday afternoon met with the president of Huracán, David Garzón, to discuss his future and the possibility of renewing his contract with the “Globo”, which expires on June 30.
However, the Ribera club is not giving up to try to incorporate the 27-year-old left-handed defender: one of the ways out is to try to make him sign a pre-contract so that he can arrive free in the middle of the year, and another possibility is to sell or lend a footballer – there will be time until February 9 – to reach an agreement with the leaders of the Parque de los Patricios club.
In another order, the Boca Board of Directors determined that for next Sunday’s game there will be a filter for members, who to enter will have to have attended 12 of the last 15 matches.
Otherwise, today from 3:00 p.m. they have to enter the site soysocio.com to reserve their place in the popular members’ platform.
The measure was taken by order of the Ministry of Security of the City of Buenos Aires, after last Sunday there were disorders and avalanches at the entrance gates of the Alberto J. Armando stadium.
Boca will receive Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero on Sunday from 7:15 p.m., for the second date of the Professional Soccer League, with the arbitration of Andrés Merlos.
