Boca want Maher Carrizo, join the race with River | OneFootball

The Xeneize is keen on adding the winger to their ranks and will inquire about the conditions from Vélez for his transfer in the coming hours. The player recently turned down the Millonario, as he wishes to move to Europe.

After the deal with River fell through, Maher Carrizo's situation might take an unexpected turn: Boca wants him as a reinforcement and will inquire about conditions from Vélez in the coming hours to compete with their eternal rival. Although the player recently stated that his priority is to move to Europe, the story is just beginning and has an open ending.

Just a few days after the winger declined the Millonario, who had offered 6,500,000 million dollars for half of the transfer and was close to reaching an agreement with Vélez, the Xeneize management has decided to find out the conditions for the 19-year-old player.

While caution is advised since this is merely an idea to start negotiations and there is no formal offer yet, Boca entering the race for Carrizo, who was a fervent desire of Marcelo Gallardo, is still a bombshell that shakes both insiders and outsiders in the transfer market.

Why won't he play for River and Boca dreams of snatching him? Although everything seemed to indicate that the operation would come to fruition, the player's stance ultimately caused the operation to fall through. Carrizo made it clear that he has no intention of moving to River, prioritizing continuing his career in Europe and waiting for a proposal from the Old Continent.

Now, first, it will be necessary to see if Boca meets Vélez's demands; and then, if an agreement between clubs is reached as happened with the Millonario, the next step is to know the player's decision. That is, whether he sticks to his plan to leave the country or if the Xeneize sways him.

In this context, it is worth clarifying that a club from those latitudes has already sounded out Carrizo, although it has not yet advanced formally: Feyenoord has set its sights on the winger from Fortín and is considering making an offer in the short term. However, the offer would be lower than what La Banda offered.

Carrizo was one of Vélez's highlights in 2025 and shone in the U-20 World Cup, despite a slight dip in performance in the final stretch of the second semester. He has a contract with Vélez until December 2027 and a release clause of 16 million dollars, but his desire is to seek a new direction this year, and Fortín will not close the doors on him—as long as there is a convincing offer.
