Adam Bareiro spoke about the possibility of joining Boca Juniors. The Paraguayan striker, who still partially belongs to River, spoke after Fortaleza’s victory, where he scored a goal.
The news of the offer made by Boca’s management for the Paraguayan striker surprised everyone. According to reports, the team from La Ribera offered approximately 3 million dollars to buy his full rights, which are equally owned by the Brazilian team and their eternal rival.
River retains 50% of Bareiro’s rights, and his time at the Millonario was unremarkable. That’s why his name came up when Boca’s offer to buy his transfer was revealed. After the match played this Saturday with the team from Ceará, he spoke on the subject.

Boca made an offer for Adam Bareiro to Fortaleza.
“The reality is that, as I always say, my mind is here. As I’ve always said, Fortaleza was a team that had a lot of confidence in me. I value that a lot; the team, the fans, my teammates, and the entire club management have always believed in me. If I’m doing well today, it’s thanks to them, so I’m grateful,” began the striker.
He added: “Then, obviously, when you get good results, it’s also nice that other teams take notice of your career, but that’s up to the clubs, it’s between my agent and the club and the people at Boca. My mind is only here, I’m working for that and I’m always here to give my best,” he concluded.
In an interview some time ago, the president of the club from La Ribera referred to the striker who at that time was playing for San Lorenzo. Back then, Boca tried to secure his arrival and buy his transfer from El Cuervo, but the Ciclón’s management didn’t want to sell him and he ended up going to River.
The story is well known: things didn’t go well for him at the Millonario and he was loaned out. Later, Fortaleza bought his rights for less than what the Núñez team had paid for him. Juan Román Riquelme’s comment was archived, and that’s where we turn to know his opinion about the striker.

The archive of Riquelme’s opinion on Bareiro.
“Because for me, someone who plays badly, if they compete, becomes good. Someone who is good and competes, becomes very good. And someone who is very good and competes… is Messi. You can be very good, but if you don’t like to compete, you become just an average player. The number nine (Bareiro) competes all the time against anyone. He plays in the Copa Argentina, he competes, he fights with the other team’s defender, three days later he plays against Huracán, he competes… and well, football is also about that. I like that.”
