In parallel to their preparation to face O'Higgins in the playoffs of the Copa Sudamericana, Boca is also continuing to work in the transfer market. In this context, the management made an important decision in recent hours: they withdrew from the signing of Lucas Passerini due to Belgrano's high financial demands.
The 32-year-old forward was seen as one of the alternatives to strengthen the attack, a search that became a priority due to the injury of Adam Bareiro, who still does not have a confirmed date to return and may even undergo surgery in the coming days.
Although the player had already given the green light to wear the blue and gold jersey, the negotiations did not progress. Belgrano set a price of 5 million dollars for 100% of his transfer, an amount that Boca considered excessive and led the management headed by Juan Román Riquelme to end the discussions.
