After several twists and turns, Vélez defender Valentín Gómez will finally be transferred since the Liniers team agreed verbally with an investment group, which will buy a percentage in exchange for 10 million euros, 8.5 net.
In this way, the third opportunity for the 21-year-old to go to another club was the winner after he did not pass the medical examination with the City Group, which was going to link him with River, and more recently, the frustrated transfer to Cruzeiro due to changes in the payment conditions.
After the last details were ironed out, the Liniers team reached an understanding with the group and will keep 10 percent of the defender’s card, in addition to the payment for the sale having to be made throughout this year.
His future will be in Europe. Gómez will continue his career at Udinese in Italy and will sign for 6 months, with the option to extend it for another year, until June 2026. In addition, the idea is that next Monday or Tuesday he will already be present in Europe.
The black and white team won the fight against Lazio, who also wanted him. It should be noted that the San Miguel-born player who played 110 games and scored three goals was eager to take a leap in his career and that is why he trained differently in the preseason at the Olympic Village directed by Sebastián Domínguez. Battaglia was presented at Boca: “Welcome, Rodri”
After having been incorporated for a figure close to a million dollars from Atlético Mineiro, runner-up of the 2024 Copa Libertadores, the Argentine defender Rodrigo Battaglia was presented as a new xeneize reinforcement: “Welcome to Boca, Rodri,” wrote the Argentine team on its X account.
The 33-year-old right-hander, born in Morón, resigned from an economic debt that the Galo had with him and signed a three-year contract with the Buenos Aires team. The former Huracán de Parque Patricios arrived in the country on January 13 and has already trained under the orders of the technical director, Fernando Gago.
After undergoing the medical examination, Battaglia – one of Boca’s seven reinforcements for 2025 – assured that it is a “dream” to play at La Bombonera and added: “Happy, it’s a nice step in my career. They were tough days of negotiation, but I already want to meet my teammates.” Then, he sent a message to the club’s fan: “I’m very happy to be here. See you soon.”
The Buenos Aires native, who played two games with the Argentine National Team in 2018, joined the Belo Horizonte club in April 2023. Since then he has played 90 games: he scored 5 goals and gave one assist. Last season he became a key piece in Gabriel Milito’s system (already replaced by Cuca) and was the only one from his team selected in the eleven of the best players of the Copa Libertadores, presented by the networks of the continental competition.
Juanfer Quintero’s departure from Racing was unblocked
One of the novels of Racing’s transfer market has Juan Fernando Quintero as the protagonist. The talented midfielder pushed to leave La Academia in this transfer market to return to Colombia due to a delicate personal moment he is going through due to his partner’s illness. In the last few hours he added another chapter, but it seems to have come to an end. For several days now, Juanfer has been in his country waiting to join América de Cali in exchange for 2.3 million dollars. However, he has not yet been officially presented because the Avellaneda team added a couple of clauses, which have already been accepted: the first indicates that the player cannot be sold to an Argentine soccer team in the short term and the other refers to the limit on the delay in payment of the installments. Racing will soon send the transfer.
The skilled midfielder published a clip on his social networks with his best moments wearing the Racing shirt. More specifically, all his goals, including the goal against Boca in La Bombonera and the double against Corinthians that advanced La Academia to the final of the Copa Sudamericana and made more than one person emotional in the comments with his heartfelt words.
