The management of Boca is confident they can finalize the arrival of Adam Bareiro before the transfer window extension closes. The Xeneize have until Friday to reach an agreement with the Brazilian team regarding the striker's transfer.
The management of the Ribera club, led by Juan Román Riquelme, is optimistic about being able to announce the arrival of their third signing in this transfer window in the coming hours. This transfer window was extended due to Rodrigo Battaglia’s surgery, as he suffered an Achilles tendon injury and will be out for several months.
The blue and gold team took advantage of the extra time granted by the Argentine Football Association to replace the player who will be sidelined for a long period, and decided to focus their efforts on Brazilian football.

Bareiro is one step away from putting on the blue and gold jersey.
According to information obtained by this outlet, Fortaleza made a counteroffer to Boca’s initial proposal. The Xeneize will not budge from the 3 million dollars they must pay to acquire 100% of the Paraguayan player’s rights, but they have modified the payment schedule.
Thus, the Ribera club is optimistic that in the coming hours the purchase of the full transfer will be finalized, Bareiro will be able to travel to the country and undergo medical exams, and then sign the contract that has already been verbally agreed with the Boca team.
Barring any issues, in the next few hours, the 29-year-old Paraguayan striker should arrive in the country to undergo a medical examination and subsequently sign a contract that would link him to the Only Great for 3 years.

The Paraguayan played for San Lorenzo and River in the country.
The player still belongs to River for a percentage of his rights, but the Núñez club cannot interfere in the negotiation and must abide by the decision of the Brazilian club, where the Asunción-born player currently plays.
