The European transfer market closed this Tuesday, but the Argentine football market has a few days left with stories to close. However, in the last few hours a rumor arose about an unexpected superclassic bid:River gets into the fight for Lucas Merollaobjective of Boca?
The version that the Millionaire could meddle in the talks between Xeneize and the defender of Huracán arose on Continental radio. According to Sebastián Srur, the Millionaire would look favorably on taking advantage of the situation of the Globo captain, who ends his contract with his current club in June.
Despite this information, there are two other sources that deny this possibility. One of them is Juan Cortese, a journalist who covers River Plate news for TyC Sports: “The information I have at this time is that River will not point to Merolla nor did he call his representative, to stay in this way with the campus he has. Time will tell,” she wrote on her Instagram account.
Another who rules out this possibility is Juan Patricio Balbi, an ESPN reporter, who even demolished the fact that the Millionaire can move in the coming days: “Beyond the historic sale of Enzo Fernández, in River they assure that there are no intentions of making new movements in the current transfer market. It is considered that the squad is armed and complete. It will be seen by mid-year,” he said.
On the other hand, Balbi added: “The book of passes is open until Thursday night and surely there will be many offers. River it was always clear that he could only bet on some irresistible market opportunity. For now there isn’t. and about Merolla in Núñez they deny it completely”.
Meanwhile, Diego Monroig assured that Merolla would have made his position clear: “The player has just told Huracán that he is not going to Europe, that he wants to play in Boca. Beyond this, the clubs are on opposite paths economically.” We will have to wait until Thursday…
