After losing 2-1 to Racing at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi for the final of the International Super Cup, Boca returned to Argentina to finalize details for the debut in the Professional League 2023. It should be noted that Xeneize and the Academy shared the flight that took them together with the refereeing body to Ezeiza.
The Ribera delegation arrived this Saturday night in Buenos Aires without Agustín Rossi. On Argentine soil, Xeneize had to go through a corridor full of fans of the Avellaneda club who arrived at the airport to thank their champions and received them with songs. Minutes later, the flight that brought La 12 landed, commanded by raphael dizeo.
It is worth remembering that this Sunday from 9:30 p.m., Boca will begin the defense of the Professional League title once morest Atletico Tucuman at La Bombonera. For now, for this new season, the team led by Hugo Ibarra only added to the central defender Bruno Valdezwho arrived free from the mexico americaAlready Ezekiel Fernandezwho returned his loan in Tigre.
Why didn’t Rossi return to the Boca squad?
After the Black Ibarrto confirm that he was not going to take the 27-year-old goalkeeper into account for having signed a pre-contract with Flamengo (club that owns its record as of June), Xeneize agreed that Agustín go on loan for six months to Al-Nasr of Arabia in exchange for more than a million dollars. It is for this reason that on the stopover in Madrid, the goalkeeper, who made the outward journey with his teammates from Boca, undertook the return to the Middle East.
Given the unusual agreement, the goalkeeper had to go buy clothes because he only had the Xeneize clothing. Once the work visa arrives, he will travel to the Saudi country to sign with the group that has Cristiano Ronaldo and Pity Martinez among its ranks. It should be noted that the prince who owns the club has known him since the friendly between Boca and Barcelona (December 2021) and following asking for references, including Miguel Ángel Russo, they chose him to replace the injured David Ospina.
