Varela, FC Porto’s target, finally puts his foot in the Boca shirt

Speculation is growing about the midfielder, who should start tonight for Boca Juniors.

With the ball on Boca Juniors, after FC Porto made a second bid, expectations are growing around Alan Varela, who is excited about the possibility of heading to Europe, but without taking his foot off the team he is defending.

Xeneize enters the field on Sunday (20:30 in mainland Portugal) and the midfielder should be in the starting line-up, in line with the predominance he has in the squad and in the dressing room. In Buenos Aires, no one doubts Alan’s commitment and professionalism right up to the last minute, no matter how advanced the process is. Predicates that have already led him to the captaincy in 2022 (21 years old) and that also attract dragons.

No one can guarantee that the match in Jimnasia, for the Argentine League, will be the last for Alan Varela in favor of Boca, but at the stage where negotiations are taking place, this scenario cannot be ruled out either. What is certain is that more eyes will be on the number 5 shirt.

The next meeting is at dawn from Friday to Saturday, for the Argentine Cup, and the Porto club hopes that the deal will remain open until then, also because Varela is far from being an unknown name among the major European clubs. As O JOGO wrote in yesterday’s edition, the blue and whites are close to ten million euros, an already tempting value for Boca, who nonetheless intends to secure part of a future transfer.
