Elche’s decision with Benedetto before his arrival in Boca

The Argentine striker, who would be very close to returning to Xeneize, did not even go to the bench in his team’s victory against Villarreal.

77′ 2T: Elche – Lucas Ariel Boyé’s play goal

After weeks of rumors and long negotiations in the transfer market, which included Elche and Olympique de Marseille, there is a new indication that suggests that the return of Dario Benedetto to Boca it is a fact: He didn’t even go to the bank in the Elche game.

The Ilicitanos received this Sunday at the Martínez Valero stadium Villarreal for date 21 of La Liga (they won 1-0) and the Argentine scorer was off the list of starters and substitutes, a situation that usually occurs when a player is about to be transferred to avoid injuries. If Guido Carrillo was the starter and Axel Werner, Javier Pastore, Iván Marcone and Lucas Boyé, all Argentines, went to the bank.

Since the striker himself confessed his desire to return to the club, in the Council took note, communicated with him and undertook the pertinent negotiations to achieve his return. The Xeneize leadership trusts that everything will be defined this weekend: they hope that Pipa will get on the plane heading to Argentina on Monday or Tuesday next week, to sign a three-year contract with Boca, who will buy his file for a figure that would be around three million dollars.

The agreement between the club and the player is already a fact. El Pipa knows what Boca can pay him and agrees to return to the team in which he broke it between 2016 and 2019 with 45 goals in 76 games. It only remained for Olympique de Marseille to accept the conditions and it seems that this point would be heading, although there is still nothing official.

The suggestive posting of Benedetto’s brother, which he later deleted!

The scorer’s brother, Lucas, made a post on his Instagram account that already seemed to give Boca fans an important wink, but hours later he decided to delete it.

On his Instagram account, Lucas Benedetto published a story with an image that said everything: El Pipa wearing the xeneizes colors in several superimposed images with some “hidden” word such as “come back” and the text “puuuuuf” summarizing his feeling at the novelty.
