With the end of the football year, the transfer market put fifth and begins to take all the flashes in these last days that remain in 2024. As it could not be the exception, and much less after an irregular campaign and lacking titles, the waterfall of names rains down on Boca quickly.
But the truth is that, although for now they did not advance for his hiring, there is a specific player who truly moves Fernando Gago to reinforce the central midfield position, today the priority in the search: Rodrigo Battaglia, from Atlético Mineiro. The curious thing? He is also in River’s folder.
In fact, it is not a simple taste of the coach and a possibility that is presented for 2025, but from his environment they already sounded him out to find out his situation and his desire thinking about the next season.
However, it should be clarified that the Boca Football Council has not yet started a direct negotiation with Atlético Mineiro, the runner-up team in America with which he has a contract valid until December 2025.
For now it has not gone beyond a contact by Pintita’s close circle, but that does not mean that, as Battaglia is evidently one of those targeted by the coach to fill a position in which he has just lost Guillermo Fernández, the management will not step on the accelerator in the coming days.
It is not the first time that the versatile 33-year-old midfielder who knew how to play in Europe and also wear the Racing shirt – among others in Argentina – is heard in Boca, so his name is not surprising either. In mid-2023, the Council began negotiations to hire him and even the player himself confessed it, but the Galo finally did not want to part with who is one of his figures and undisputed starters.
Without an agreement at Racing, Gustavo Costas emerges as a candidate for Santos
Gustavo Costas has not yet arranged his continuity with Racing and in the face of the uncertainty in Avellaneda, Santos appeared on the scene, which, having not reached an agreement with Gustavo Quinteros, is now aiming its guns at the 2024 Copa Sudamericana champion.
According to Ge Globo, Peixe, given the delays in talks with Quinteros, who this Sunday managed to shout champion with Vélez in the 2024 Professional League, opened the channels of communication with Costas’ entourage in search of closing a new coach to start working towards a preseason already scheduled in January in the United States.
It is because of these delays in the search for the Vélez coach that now the Racing boss is the one in pole position to take the reins of the São Paulo giant that in 2025 will return to the Brasileirao after a year in the Série B.
However, in Brazil they do not take Quinteros out of the fight either, although they recognize that the Santa Fe coach naturalized Bolivian has great chances of staying in Liniers next year, in search of retaining his crown at the local level and trying to fight also at the international level.
Atlético Tucumán executed the purchase option for three players and extended Guillermo Acosta’s contract
Once the Professional League ended, the directors of Atlético Tucumán began to move quickly to comply with Facundo Sava’s requests. Yesterday afternoon the extension of Guillermo Acosta’s contract for two more years was finalized and this morning the institution announced that it bought 50% of the passes of three starting players.
“There is a captain for a while! Guillermo “BB” Acosta renewed his contract with our institution for two more years. Happy to have you with us, we are going for a 2025 full of achievements and a historic record,” the Dean announced on his social networks.
In turn, this Wednesday, through its official channels, the Tucuman team announced: “Club Atlético Tucumán made use of the option and acquired 50% of the passes of Mateo Bajamich, Gianluca Ferrari and Juan Infante.”
In this way, Sava’s wishes begin to come true, who had already publicly stated: “My intention is that the players we want to stay can stay. The aforementioned players are part of the base of the squad with a view to the next season.”
