While in Boca accelerated in the transfer market, days before the start of the Apertura and after the novel of Marino Hinestroza that ended with the player in Vasco da Gama, the Xeneize leadership pointed to an old desire for Juan Roman Riquelme: Angel Romero. The Paraguayan was released and is one step away from becoming the club’s first reinforcement. In that context, The historic Cristian Traverso recalled how the Paraguayan had chosen another destination when he could have arrived in Boca. Look what he said.
The former player’s comments were made through his Instagram stories. Traverso, who is usually very critical of the club’s present both in the media and on social networks, He referred to the possible reinforcement with a sarcastic tone and recalled his frustrated arrival in 2022.
Traverso’s sarcasm with the possible arrival of Romero to Boca
In that post, he published an image of Romero accompanied by a survey to find out the opinion of his followers about his possible arrival at Xeneize. There he offered two options: “Quality leap” or “Nooo!! He chose Cruz Azul when he could come.”
But the two-time Libertadores champion and world champion with Boca did not stop there and doubled down with another message full of sarcasm: “If you are free and no one is fighting for you… don’t worry. Here we are, fulfilling dreams!!”Traverso wrote.
Romero, Óscar’s brother (former xeneize), has just been released after the end of his second stage in Corinthians where he won the Paulista Championship and played 53 games, scoring five goals and giving three assists.

The frustrated arrival of Romero to which he referred
The situation that the former defender pointed to dates back to 2022, when Riquelme looked for the Paraguayan striker in one of his first transfer markets as a leader. However, the player who currently trains with his brother in Luque, chose to continue his career at Cruz Azul in Mexico, before returning to Corinthians, a club in which he had already had a first cycle between 2014 and 2018.
Thus, while Boca accelerates in the market to add its first reinforcement before the debut in the Apertura tournament, the name of Ángel Romero remained at the center of the scene, not only because of his possible arrival, but also for the old chapters that are reopened with the criticism of a multi-time champion with Xeneize.
