Edinson Cavani approaches Boca: negotiations with his representative advance

The Uruguayan striker, Edinson Cavani, is negotiating his arrival at Boca Juniors hand in hand with Juan Román Riquelme, who needs to reinforce the squad for the second part of the Copa Libertadores.Si although there is a real secrecy between the parties, in the last hours it was known that Valencia is determined to get rid of the attacker, while in Boca they do not want to be exposed again if he chooses another destination outside of Argentine football. Unlike 2022, the ex-PSG, Manchester United and Napoli do not have as a priority to continue in Europe as last year, which had as its main objective the World Cup in Qatar in December. At 36, he dreams of imitating “Manteca” Martínez in the Copa Libertadores and the chance to join is latent. Since a few weeks ago, when he was in Salto, Uruguay, on vacation he was the one who resumed the talks with Román and from the Football Council they took it as a wink. Valencia wants to get rid of the striker because of his high salary and his poor performance this year (he did not score: the last one was on December 31, against Villarreal). In case of negotiation, there would be no obstacles to negotiate the termination.  While Boca must release at least one quota of foreigners because it does not take place and the main targets are Sebastián Villa and Jan Hurtado.
