The injury of Agustín Marchesín in the Copa Libertadores match against Barcelona in Guayaquil reopened the debate about who should occupy the Boca arc. In this context, Carlos Navarro Montoya surprised to set an ambitious goal: to try to convince none other than Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez to
join the club.
The former Xeneize goalkeeper considered that, in addition to the good performance of Leandro Brey, who assumed emergency title and responded with results, the team needs a more experienced soccer player to face the second half of the year, especially the decisive instances of “Eternal Glory”. “Boca is a place of excellence.

short term. Dibu assured that if he returns to Argentina, he would only play in Independente
Meanwhile, Boca is considering options to replace Marchesín. The 38-year-old goalkeeper's right anterior cruciate ligament tear, which will require at least eight months of recovery, forced urgent changes to the position.
