The transfer market rumors don't stop, and Boca is at the center of the scene with a name that promises to revolutionize Argentine football: Maher Carrizo. The 19-year-old from Santiago, considered the great jewel of Vélez, is on the radar of the Ribera club, which seeks to make a big impact in the next season.
River had already tried to acquire the winger in the previous window, even with the backing of the City Group, but the operation did not succeed. Now, the Xeneize would be willing to replicate that strategy, relying on another business group that is considering executing the purchase option for the player, valued at 16 million dollars, to then loan him to the Xeneize, as revealed by Doble Amarilla.

Maher Carrizo was a champion at Vélez.
Carrizo has not only sparked interest locally: Manchester City and Valencia were close to acquiring him together, although the negotiation ultimately fell through. This situation left the door open for Boca to enter the fray and seek to secure one of the most coveted talents in the country.
However, Vélez maintains a firm stance. The Liniers club has already made it clear that they do not intend to sell Carrizo to either River or Boca, and that they will only part with their star if the full release clause is paid. With this decision, the Fortín protects the most expensive Argentine footballer currently and sets a limit in an increasingly competitive market.
In recent statements, the young player who stood out in the U-20 World Cup held in Chile, said: “I would like to play in the Premier League, I like several clubs, Arsenal... hopefully there will be many offers.” He also stated that “what I want most is to play a World Cup with the National Team,” referring to the senior team. However, regarding his immediate future, Carrizo explained: “Now I have to think about Vélez and if I have to stay there, let it be in the best way and calmly.”
In addition to this rumor about Vélez's jewel, Boca continues to work to try to finalize the arrival of Marino Hinestroza in the coming days. Similarly, they are also in negotiations to incorporate two reinforcements from San Lorenzo: Gastón Hernández and Alexis Cuello.

Riquelme and Delgado work in the transfer market.
Marcelo Delgado is the one leading the negotiations, which so far have not been successful, and the Xeneize has not yet been able to announce the signing of any reinforcements. Simultaneously, the future of several players returning from loans must be decided.
