River title winner open to Boca move if Riquelme calls: "It's a job" | OneFootball

In a transfer market where the barrier between eternal rivals seemed to blur with the saga of Sebastián Villa and his flirtation with River, the Colombian was not the only one to stir things up in that area. From abroad, the one who broke the mold and followed the same line, but this time with a nod towards Boca, was Federico Girotti.

Yes, the forward trained at the Millonario and part of Marcelo Gallardo's cycle, made a statement that resonated strongly: he did not close the door to a call from Juan Román Riquelme. "It's complicated, you're putting me in a tough spot, but yes," said the 26-year-old striker in an interview with DSports, days after finalizing his move to Alianza Lima in Peru.

Girotti's justification for a potential call from the Xeneize was based on a reality: football as a means of livelihood. "I think you shouldn't say no to any team. Even though I have my past with River, this is a job," stated the player from Córdoba. Although he clarified that the situation would require "a bit of a twist," his stance was clear: "You shouldn't say no to anyone."
