Miguel Merentiel’s agent reveals where the striker wants to retire | OneFootball

After the brace against Lanús where Miguel Merentiel reached his 53rd goal wearing the Boca jersey, his agent spoke out. Marcelo Tejera revealed where the striker wants to retire and also mentioned that he is seeking for Xeneize to improve his contract.

A perfect night for the Beast during the team’s visit to La Fortaleza. The Uruguayan striker scored again in Boca’s rout and not only that, he did it twice. The native of Paysandú is regaining his spot in the starting lineup after his injury and, after several matches without scoring, he found the net again.

That’s why Marcelo Tejera was asked if he’s receiving offers for the Beast: “There are offers for Merentiel in every transfer window. We haven’t been able to move forward with any of them,” he said in a conversation with Carve Deportiva.

However, the Beast’s agent assured that the top scorer is not looking for a way out: “The idea, for several months now, has been to try to improve the contract. Miguel is extremely comfortable at Boca. The intention is not to leave, I ask him and he tells me: ‘No, I’d rather finish my career here at Boca’.”

Tejera said he spoke with Juan Román Riquelme to try to improve his client’s contract: “What I’ve asked the president, without much luck, is for a salary increase that matches what Merentiel represents at Boca today. But well, I haven’t had any luck with that so far.”

The agent of Miguel Merentiel and the World Cup chance

In addition to his future at Boca, these days there is analysis over who will be the players going to the next World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. In this sense, Marcelo Bielsa must decide whether to include the Boca striker among Uruguay’s call-ups.

But for Marcelo Tejera, the chances of the Celeste’s coach adding him to the team are very slim: “From what Bielsa has shown, he doesn’t really consider him. I’m realistic; I see it as very difficult for Miguel to be called up because, whether playing well or just okay, he was only called up once and after that, he wasn’t called up again.” 

He also lamented: “I think Uruguay doesn’t have a player like Merentiel. They have many strikers, but not a second forward who can run into space like Miguel can.”
