Riquelme reveals Boca’s first new signing and when he’ll join | OneFootball

The president of Boca Juniors, Juan Román Riquelme confirmed who will be the first signing in this summer transfer market and shared when he will arrive in the country to join the team led by Claudio Úbeda.

In a conversation with AZZ, the Xeneize leader revealed that the arrival of Ángel Romero is on track and in the coming hours he will become the first signing in this transfer window.

Ángel Romero will be the first signing for the Xeneize team.

The 33-year-old Paraguayan comes with his transfer in hand after his stint with Corinthians in Brazil and will sign a one-season contract with the Ribera team, with the option to renew it for another year.

"Tomorrow, the day after, or Monday, hopefully we can have him with us," Riquelme began saying about Ángel Romero's arrival. He also detailed on the matter: "The club's lawyers are already exchanging papers with Ángel's lawyers and hopefully tomorrow or the day after we can inform Boca fans that he will be with us. It indicates that it will happen."

Riquelme's demand for the squad

The Xeneize president was blunt with the team: "We haven't won, we've always been right at the door. We need to take that step because we have to acknowledge it, we have to achieve it. And this squad already has those players that we were all happy about, some have been here for a year, others for six months, and well, this year we have to push them to the maximum because they have to bring us a lot of joy, right?"

The Xeneize officially starts the year against Riestra.

In the same vein, he added: "They know very well that they need to win, that they need to see Boca fans happy because they like going to Rosario and having people wait for them at the hotel, going to Santiago and having people wait for them at the hotel, playing at La Bombonera and it's always packed."

To close the topic, he stated: "They enjoy it a lot, so now, after having their time, it's time for us to take that step we all desire, right? Which is to win, to bring joy to Boca fans because in the end, you play for the fans. That's the only thing I understood when I was a football player: you play for them. And this isn't being a show-off or anything, you play for them."
