Boca Juniors bid farewell to the FIFA Club World Cup after drawing 1-1 with Auckland City in Nashville, without knowing victory in the tournament. The elimination in the group stage, with two draws and one defeat, has been a tough blow for the team led by Miguel Ángel Russo, who is waiting for reinforcements for the second half.

In this context, Leandro Paredes emerges as the best possible signing and a footballer who can give the 'Xeneize' a quality leap.

According to journalist Federico Cristofanelli, Paredes has not yet responded to the offer made by Boca's management to join the team in this transfer market.

Boca Juniors offered the Argentine player to maintain the salary he has at AS Roma – where he has a contract until June 2026 – and is waiting for his approval to send the money for the exit clause to the Italian club. If Paredes accepts, he would sign with the 'Xeneize' until 2028. "There will be news in the coming days," Cristofanelli pointed out.

Russo hopes that Riquelme and the Football Council will close reinforcements and give some footballers an exit, with a view to a semester where Boca has the obligation to change the image of the last months, with the Torneo Clausura of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol (LPF) and the Copa Argentina as their only objectives.

The squad has a license until next Tuesday, July 1st, while Paredes is going through his last days of vacation before defining his future.
