And suddenly, a rainy Sunday, without great progress with respect to the team that will play against Godoy Cruz, almost a day of transition between the defeat against Estudiantes and the search for classification in the League Cup, was shaken by bombshell news : Boca informed Nicolás Valentini that it will not take him into account for not accepting the renewal of his contract, which expires in December.
The defender found out this Sunday from the coach, who informed him that by order of the leadership he will not take him into account for what is coming.. In this way, it is another negotiation that comes into conflict, because until just a few days ago the Riquelme Council was optimistic regarding the renewal of the 23-year-old central defender.
However, Everything was precipitated in the last hours, when Valentini informed the management that he did not accept the offer that the club had made him (at the beginning of this year) to renew his contract. The player even explained to Román’s Council his intention to be sold in June, given that he needed to have continuity (in Boca today he is a substitute) and that there were several clubs interested in him.
From there, Boca decided to make this decision that has a high impact, because it is hanging a player who has just been called up to the Senior National Team by Scaloni (he was part of the squad in the friendlies with El Salvador and Costa Rica), who was a fixture to go to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with the Under 23 (now Masche must evaluate his football situation) and who is one of the youngsters of the club with the best immediate sale projection. In fact, he has concrete possibilities of going to Italy (he is closely followed by Lazio, Inter and Fiorentina).
And now, what’s next?
For now, with the conflict declared, Martínez is left without a player that he used a lot during this time, since Vikingo returned from the Sub 23. Because somehow, due to Rojo and Figal’s injuries, it was a constant and reliable alternative. In fact, after missing six games due to being affected by the Pre-Olympic, he played nine of the team’s ten games, five of them as a starter.
But with regard to the player’s future, which also involves the club’s assets, the situation, as it is stated, looks to have a forced outcome at the end of June. There, Valentini will now be able to negotiate as a free agent with any club that wants him (because there will only be six months left to finish his contract) and Boca, if they sell him at that time, will have the chance to make money that, if the player is free at the end of 2024, he would lose entirely.

In any case, in the meantime, there will be a chance to resume that dialogue between the parties that is broken today. For now, Boca’s offer for the renewal of the contract was considered insufficient by Valentini, who demands an update of a link for which he has been charging a very low figure for a year and a half. Even more so for a player who had growth like his (he even started in the Copa Libertadores final).
In Xeneize, meanwhile, They consider that the economic proposal is in accordance with said evolution, which also goes hand in hand with the opportunities and the showcase that the club gave the player. From there we came to this bombshell decision, to leave him out of the team for what is to come. Or until a new agreement is reached ‘due to the link.
For now, Valentini trained with the squad today, like one more. What will it be like from this Monday?
