As revealed by the Argentine newspaper Olé, Arturo Vidal has asked his representative Fernando Felicevich to explore the possibility of joining Boca Juniors.
“Boca would love me, but everything depends on Fernando…”, Arturo Vidal has confessed to a person close to him in Miami, where he is on vacation and today he will participate in a friendly match with Paulo Dybala, Paul Pogba, Iván Zamorano, Diego Lugano and David Trezeguet.
In the event that the Buenos Aires club agreed to the wish of the Chilean media, the great inconvenience to closing the operation would be its economic cost.
Riquelme: “Vidal was born to play for this club”
On the one hand, Arturo Vidal should disassociate himself from Inter and, having achieved his freedom, should lower his claims and adjust his current salary, which is prohibitive in South American football. This same week Román Riquelme, vice president of Boca, has ensured that “Vidal was born to play for this club. Hence we can pay for it…”.
Two years ago, in April 2020, Vidal already admitted his fascination with Boca and La Bombonera. “I have never played there until now and I have always wanted to know how it feels. It will be a dream to play there”, he confessed then, although he preferred to sign for Inter after finishing his contract with Barça.
Flamengo, Qatar, Colo Colo…
At 35 years old, Vidal is at a crossroads since, in addition to Boca’s option, he is wanted by the Brazilian Flamengo, for whom he has also expressed his preference, and Qatar’s Al Rayyan, with a juicy offer. Nor can his return to Chile and Colo Colo, the club where he made his professional debut, be ruled out.
