Boca Juniors’ Pursuit of Leandro Paredes
Boca Juniors is reportedly making another effort to secure the return of Leandro Paredes, the midfielder who previously played for the club and holds a special place as a fan favorite. This renewed interest comes ahead of the Club World Cup, commencing on June 15, which provides a significant opportunity for teams to bolster their squads.
In preparation for this high-profile tournament, an exceptional transfer window has opened since June 1, allowing participating teams to enhance their rosters just in time.
Proactive Approach During Transfer Window
As noted by TyC Sports, Boca Juniors is poised to be one of the most proactive clubs during this transfer window, looking to capitalize on the situation to bring Paredes back to Argentina. Earlier this year, the Argentine international was approached during the winter transfer period but opted to remain with AS Roma, where he has been playing.
Recent Developments and Negotiations
However, recent developments have altered the landscape of negotiations. Paredes signed an extension with Roma for an additional year, yet it’s reported that there exists a termination clause worth €3.5 million specifically for Boca Juniors. This fee is seen as manageable, potentially reigniting discussions between the clubs.
Paredes has consistently expressed a desire to return to Boca Juniors, which may play a crucial role in the unfolding saga as the Club World Cup approaches.
