Merentiel’s agent puts pressure on Riquelme to improve his contract | OneFootball

Miguel Merentiel reached his 53rd goal wearing the Boca jersey thanks to the brace he scored against Lanús. The Uruguayan striker is returning to his best form after the injury that sidelined him for several matches and, according to his agent, deserves an improved contract.

Marcelo Tejera, the man in charge of managing the career of the Paysandú native, stated that he has been trying to get Boca to improve the salary received by the Beast and put pressure on the club president, Juan Román Riquelme with his statements.

To begin with, the agent stated that “there are offers in every transfer window,” although “we haven’t been able to move forward with any of them.” However, he assured: “The idea for several months now has been to try to improve the contract. Miguel is extremely comfortable at Boca. The intention is not to leave, I ask him and he tells me: ‘No, I’d prefer to finish my career here at Boca’.”

Regarding the improvement of his contract, Tejera said he spoke with Juan Román Riquelme: “What I’ve asked the president for, without much luck, is a salary increase that matches what Merentiel represents for Boca today. But, well, I haven’t had any luck with that yet,” he confided in a conversation with Carve Deportiva.

In addition to discussing the renewal, the Beast’s agent spoke about the relationship between the president and the Uruguayan and his importance to the team: “I think he’s always had an admiration for him because, out of all the players he brought in, I think he’s the one who gave him the most joy.” 

The Beast is one of the team’s captains.

In the same vein, he added: “If we’re talking numbers, it was a great deal for Boca because they didn’t have to pay Palmeiras much for him. And, well, I think at the time he was his favorite player, I don’t know if that’s still the case, but what I do know is that Merentiel has always delivered for Boca,” he concluded.
