Luka Romero’s Loan Deal: A Missed Opportunity for Boca Juniors

Although Luka Romero’s entourage publicly expressed their intention to play for Boca and the blue and gold club began talks with Milan to be able to agree on a loan, they did not come to fruition and the jewel will be loaned to Almería in Spain, which It did comply with the conditions imposed from Italy.

Romero will move to Almería, a team that is last in the Spanish League with six points and no victory in 20 games, on loan for six months and without a purchase option, conditions that Milan was looking for and were far from what the club wanted. of the Ribera. In this way, he will return to Spanish football, where he went through the training of Formentera, PE Sant Jordi and made his debut in the First Division in Mallorca.

The truth is that the 19-year-old striker would have given Boca the “ok” to start negotiations, since he welcomed leaving the Serie A team, in which he did not have minutes, and playing in a big club. Argentina. However, Xeneize wanted a loan for one year or 18 months plus a purchase option, terms on which Milan was not flexible.

It was not in the Milano cast’s plans to lose one of their jewels, but rather to give her a little more filming than she had been enjoying. Since his arrival at the institution in mid-2023, he has only been able to play five games: four in the Italian league (Cagliari, Juventus, Napoli and Udinese) and one in the Italian Cup (Cagliari, which marked his only start. ). In total there were 155 minutes, an unexpected handful for the native of Victoria de Durango, Mexico, but naturalized Argentine.

Beyond Luka Romero, the position that Boca seeks to reinforce

With central defender Cristian Lema and midfielder Kevin Zenón closed, Boca will try to incorporate a striker on the outside, a position in which coach Diego Martínez considers that he does not have someone with the characteristics of Exequiel Zeballos, who is injured.

It is worth clarifying that the search comes along a different track than what was the case with Luka Romero, which was more of an opportunity that arose in the transfer market due to the player’s interest in playing for Boca and leaving Milan.
