The agreement between Boca and Agustín Marchesín is complete, but it is still necessary to reach an agreement with Gremio, the club that owns his pass. While negotiations advance, the Xeneize fans are excited about the possible arrival of the goalkeeper, who had a solid 2024 despite the Porto Alegre team’s bad year.
His arrival at the Brazilian club occurred at the beginning of the year, after being released from Celta de Vigo, from Spain. Immediately, the ex-Lanús took over the goal and became one of the great figures of the gaúcho team. In total, he played 46 games in the year and in March he was stopped for a month due to a tear in one of his thighs.
Although his performance is not outstanding in numbers, the truth is that Gremio suffered a very difficult year that found him closer to the relegation zone than to qualifying for the Copa Libertadores at the end of the season. In fact, in 2025 he will not play international tournaments.
In this irregularity, Marchesín was one of the most outstanding and people recognized him with enormous affection. Even the Boca target managed to break the record for saves in the Brasileirao, with 14 saves in the 1-0 defeat against Palmeiras, in which he was the star of the match.
Of the 66 games that Gremio played in 2024, Marchesín saved in 46. The thigh injury made him miss a handful of games at the beginning of the year, but he was also out of the squad for a dozen games, which is why he had an attendance of almost 70%.
San Lorenzo wants Rodrigo Villagra: what is River’s position?
With Miguel Ángel Russo at the helm, San Lorenzo continues to plan the construction of its squad for the official competition, where the transfer market takes on a relevant role. Following this line, the coach understands that reinforcements are needed to strengthen its ranks, and now he surprised with a new target: Rodrigo Villagra.
Miguelo set River’s central midfielder as a priority to reinforce the Ciclón’s midfield. In the case of the Núñez club, Marcelo Gallardo must decide whether to count on him for 2025 or whether to communicate to the leaders his intention to get rid of his contract.
A year ago, River paid more than 6 million dollars for the transfer of the midfielder, who came to the Monumental from Talleres. That is why from the Millonario, in case they sell him, they will ask for a fairly high figure. Something far from the reality of those from Boedo.
What is San Lorenzo’s plan? Russo is desperate to have Villagra, so he will try to convince him to be the standard-bearer of his team’s midfield. And to negotiate with the Banda, the Cuervo leaders would try to negotiate for a loan, since the footballer’s value is very high.
Independiente is about to close its seventh reinforcement: Álvaro Angulo
The Independiente leadership is about to add Álvaro Angulo as a new reinforcement. The 27-year-old Colombian left back would arrive with the pass in his possession, after having finished his contract at Atlético Nacional, to become the seventh addition to Julio Vaccari’s team.
The footballer is in Argentina with his representative and in the afternoon there will be a meeting to try to close the negotiation: among some issues to be defined is the duration of the link. The coach’s idea is that he joins the preseason as soon as possible to get ready.
The defender who came up through Deportivo Pasto made his debut in that institution at the age of 17 and stayed for three seasons, in which he played 128 matches and scored eight goals. His good performance aroused the interest of Atlético Nacional, which paid one and a half million dollars to acquire his transfer.
With the Águilas Doradas he played 101 matches and scored 11 goals. Just as Vaccari wanted, the left back arrives with football rhythm, since in the last season – he was crowned champion – he participated in 27 matches (24 of them as a starter) and scored on four occasions.
