John Textor is very interested in the profile of Cristian Medina, Boca Juniors midfielder whom he would like to recruit from Botafogo before sending him to Crystal Palace or OL. But it’s a failure…for now.
Owner of several clubs, John Textor does not hesitate to take advantage of this valuable advantage during the transfer window. Ernest Nuamah and Jeffinho arrived at Olympique Lyonnais through another club belonging to the boss of Eagle Football, who would like to do the same with young Cristian Medina. Under contract with Boca Juniors until June 2027, the 21-year-old midfielder caught the eye of John Textor.

This is how, according to information from specialist Fabrizio Romano, the owner of Olympique Lyonnais sent an offer of more than 8 million euros to recruit Cristian Medina… in Botafogo. But in the long term, the project includes a future at Crystal Palace or Olympique Lyonnais. The player seems rather receptive to this idea but for the moment, no agreement has been reached between the owner of Botafogo and Boca Juniors since the first proposal of 8 million euros plus bonuses was rejected.
John Textor faces competition from Inter Miami
John Textor will have to quickly submit a new upward offer if he does not want to see Cristian Medina escape since according to the journalist, Inter Miami also has views on the player to such an extent that an official offer has been sent from the part of the MLS club for the recruitment of the young Argentine midfielder. It now remains to be seen whether John Textor will manage to come out on top in this very competitive issue which has not yet resulted in an agreement. For its part, the Boca Juniors board wants to be calm and knows that it will be able to raise the stakes thanks to the combined interests of Botafogo and Inter Miami.
