After turning down River, Maher Carrizo linked with Boca move | OneFootball

The Argentine football transfer market has added an unexpected chapter. After the young promise of Vélez Sarsfield, Maher Carrizo declined River's proposal, now Boca enters the fray and will inquire about the forward's conditions.

In recent hours, the name Maher Carrizo has become the epicenter of a silent dispute between the two biggest clubs in the country. What seemed like a clear path for the Vélez Sarsfield attacker to wear the Millonario jersey took a 180-degree turn.

The news that surprised both insiders and outsiders was the stance of the 19-year-old player: Carrizo personally rejected the offer from the eternal Xeneize rival. Despite the concrete interest from the team led by Marcelo Gallardo, the young player chose not to proceed with the transfer.

Carrizo would leave Vélez in this transfer market.

In this scenario, Marcelo Delgado decided not to waste time. It has been revealed that the club's manager already has the forward's name on his list, and in the coming hours, they are expected to make a call to the Liniers management to inquire about official conditions. At La Ribera, they see Carrizo as a piece of enormous potential to strengthen the attack and do not want to miss the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that negotiations with their classic rival have been ruled out.

Is Maher Carrizo's arrival at Boca possible?

Carrizo's departure from Liniers will not be an easy or cheap task. The player has a release clause of 16 million dollars, a high figure for the domestic market. The big question now is whether Vélez will be willing to negotiate a percentage of the transfer for a lower amount or if they will stick to the figure stipulated in the contract.

Boca enters the race for Carrizo.

On the other hand, there is a key factor that could complicate things for Boca and any other local team: the player's entourage is expecting an offer from Europe. The priority for his inner circle would be to make a direct leap to the Old Continent if a proposal that is appealing both sportingly and economically appears.
