Alarm bells at Boca: Chelsea and Inter Miami enquire about Milton Delgado | OneFootball

Already inserted into Boca's starting eleven after shining in the U-20 World Cup with the Argentine National Team, Milton Delgado has regained visibility and consequently, thanks to his performances, interest from the top teams in the world. Now, those who have set their sights and contacted his entourage to express interest are Chelsea and Inter Miami.

Although there has been no formal offer yet, nor have any officials from either team initiated contact with the Xeneize, the truth is there has been a double inquiry to the 19-year-old central midfielder's entourage to understand his situation and test the waters.

Delgado, one of the engines of the midfield for the U-20 World Cup finalists, was awarded the Bronze Boot for his great contribution throughout the tournament and, as soon as he returned to Boca, he joined the midfield following Rodrigo Battaglia's injury. Just like during Fernando Gago's tenure, the youngster quickly proved he is up to the task and performed well on the field against Barracas Central and Estudiantes as a starter.

Today, a key player for Claudio Úbeda, after months of being gradually integrated by Miguel Russo and not being a priority, the reality is that for Boca to consider a possible departure of the young player, an irresistible offer would need to be presented. Alternatively, Chelsea or Inter Miami could trigger the release clause - with the player's consent - which is 20 million dollars following the contractual update (until 2028) that took place months ago.

In any case, it should be noted that - for now - both the Premier League giant and the club where Lionel Messi is a star, which from next season will not have Sergio Busquets and is looking for a number 5, have simply contacted Delgado's representation to inquire about conditions.

At one point, after his lack of participation in the Club World Cup, Delgado had received calls from San Lorenzo, Independiente, Godoy Cruz, and Tigre to attempt a loan. The response? Negative. And now? Unless his footballing situation changes again and he lacks continuity, his immediate future will be at Boca.
