The Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani appears closer to Boca Juniors and could be a concrete reinforcement of the Xeneize team, after this Friday – from his surroundings – it was admitted that the player is “seriously analyzing” the possibility of playing in Argentina.
Sources close to the attacker of the “celeste” team trusted that the footballer “could accept” the proposal that, some time ago, Juan Román Riquelme, one of the club’s vice presidents, made to him to join the Auriazul team.
“It would only be necessary to modify some small things around the duration of the contract and file some tax issues. But the pass, now, is more possible than ever,” close friends of the 35-year-old striker from Salto told Télam.
It is that the aforementioned possibility that the attacker is linked to Villarreal “is losing strength”, because the Spanish entity has not yet managed to sell any of the players it has in the portfolio and that situation would prevent him from reaching the ‘Yellow Submarine’ for the issue of the so-called financial ‘fair play’.
However, the complexity of the arrival of Cavani, who is looking to win filming to be in tune with his country’s team that will play the Qatar 2022 World Cup, lies in the fact that Boca should close the operation before Monday, the date on which will conclude the book of passes for Argentine soccer.
“For now there is no news, but Sunday could be a key day,” a source from the Ribera entity told Télam, adding: “The intention is for (Edinson) Cavani to sign a contract until December 2023, with an exit clause for June of that year”.
In principle, the former English Manchester United player – who is training in Montevideo on the property owned by the Uruguayan Football Association – would plan to travel to Buenos Aires this Sunday “to try to close, face to face” with the xeneize leaders his eventual link with the team of DT Hugo Ibarra.
If the parties agree, the striker would undergo a medical check-up on Monday and that day he would be presented as a new xeneize player.
