Carlos Palacios admits he could leave Boca this transfer window | OneFootball

The first half of the year came to an end and left a bitter outcome for Carlos Palacios. The Chilean was unable to play a single official minute in a Boca shirt due to chronic synovitis in his right knee, which forced him to undergo surgery on February 23.

His last appearance on the field dates back to December 7, in the loss against Racing at La Bombonera. Since then, everything has been limited to physiotherapy work and a long rehabilitation process that kept him off the pitch, even leaving him out of the latest squad list for the clash against Universidad Católica.

With the first half of the year over and the focus now on the competition after the World Cup, the big question is what his future will be. It was in this context of uncertainty that the Renca native broke his silence in an interview with TNT Sports Chile and spoke about his current situation.

In his remarks, the winger showed the lack of certainty over the role he will have in the team: “I don’t know, he has to decide that (referring to Juan Román Riquelme), it depends on him, on the club, I don’t know what they want, whether they really want me or not, I have no idea.”

Can Carlos Palacios return to Colo Colo?

Despite the doubts about the plans the board and football authorities have for him, Palacios stressed that he is still legally tied to the club, although he left the door open to any possibility of departure, especially the chance of returning to Colo Colo.

“I have a contract there with Boca, but I don’t know, I don’t know what’s going to happen with me, so well, the doors will always be open there for everyone, honestly. I always said when I left that at some point I was going to come back, and if it has to happen now, it will happen, and if not, later on, but I am going to come back at some point,” he said in reference to El Cacique.

It is worth remembering that the attacker has a long-term contract that ties him to Xeneize until December 31, 2029. Now, after putting his knee problem behind him, the coming months will be decisive in determining whether Palacios will seek to regain his lost match fitness wearing the Boca shirt, or whether his career will take a different path away from La Ribera.
