What was a transfer market rumor for a long time is now a fact: Valentine Boatthe great jewel of Boca Juniors, will play from now on in the Brighton Englandwhich will pay the termination clause of 10 million dollars net.
The 19-year-old left-hander, who had taken charge of the “Xeneize” midfield both in the local tournament and in the Copa Libertadores with surprising ease and quality taking into account the context, will join the European team after playing the U-23 Pre-Olympic with the Argentine national team, so the brand new Boca coach Diego Martínez is already thinking about finding his replacement on the playing field. Who appear as options?
The 20-year-old boy comes from being the great figure of the Reserve, with six goals in almost 50 games, and a very good level of football sustained over time. The midfielder already made his debut in the First Division, against Racing with Almirón, and was already praised by the new coach in the conference. “I was surprised by Saralegui, whom I had not coached when I was at the club. I watch him train and it seems to me that he has an important projection, I like how he competes and how he listens, especially how he listens to the greatest”he anticipated.
Similar characteristics to “Colo”, since he is a skilled left-footer who can go from the sides or appear in the middle. Howe
ver, negotiations with the Union are not progressing, because the “Tatengue” wants 4 million dollars for 80 percent of the passwhile Boca offered 3.
He is the only left-handed midfielder that the current squad has in that position, which is why we mention him here, but strictly speaking of level, the former San Lorenzo has never been at Boca's level. We'll see if Martínez offers him the chance to redeem himself.
Finally, they have chances but for now they run more from behind Ezequiel Bullaude and Vicente Taborda.
The first arrived on loan in the middle of last year from Feyenoord and still could not settle, but he was able to show good performances in Godoy Cruz and the ability to score goals. He has one more year on his contract and has the added bonus that coach Martínez directed him in Godoy Cruz.
The second returned in June from a loan in Platense and barely played, but in the “Calamar” he stood out from midfield to forward, so he could have some opportunity to try to exhibit the same here.
