Nández's nod on Boca's anniversary amid return rumours | OneFootball

Nahitan Nández gave a nod to Boca Juniors on the day of the club’s 121st anniversary. The Uruguayan fueled rumors of a possible return to the institution, where he played from 2017 to 2019.

The current Al-Qadsiah player from Saudi Arabia used his Instagram account to greet the Xeneize club, which this April 3 is celebrating 121 years since its foundation. Nández shared several photos from his time with the blue and gold team.

The first of the three images he shared is of the goal he scored against River in the Superclásico played on November 5, 2017, at River’s Monumental stadium in Núñez. That goal helped Boca win 2-1.

The second photo he posted on his stories is from July 31, 2019, when he played his last match wearing the Boca shirt. That day, he said goodbye to a standing ovation from all of La Bombonera in the match against Paranaense in the Copa Libertadores. He is in the foreground, but the focus is on the fans, who applauded until their hands hurt to honor his time at the club, because they knew he was saying goodbye.

The third and final image is from that same day, when he was able to say goodbye to the fans at the Alberto J. Armando stadium. In the photograph, Nahitan Nández is touching the Boca crest with his hand, along with the message “happy anniversary, dear Boca Juniors.”

Nahitan Nández and his possible return to Boca

This nod from the Uruguayan comes amid rumors that are growing stronger by the day. Several sources say that his return to the club from La Ribera could happen in the middle of the year. Some media outlets even claim that he already has an agreement with Juan Román Riquelme for it to happen.

Likewise, reports indicate that for his return to happen mid-year, the Xeneize club would have to pay a fee of around 5 million dollars to get him out of Al-Qadsiah, since he is under contract until 2027.

The Uruguayan himself even revealed in a recent interview that he remains in talks with the president, Juan Román Riquelme. “Román sent me a message at one point. We were in touch for a while. He tells me I left a great memory at Boca. He’d like me to wear the shirt again. The other day he jokingly asked me a bit ‘whether I was going to keep vacationing in Arabia or whether I wanted to return to Boca,’ haha.”
