Loaned by OM to Elche this season, Dario Benedetto could well look elsewhere this winter. The Marseille club will not retain it and it is Boca Juniors who pushes to recover it.
Having become undesirable on the side of Olympique de Marseille, Dario Benedetto was quickly loaned to Elche, a Spanish team, last summer for the entire 2021/22 season. But for the moment, the Argentinian striker has not entirely satisfied his new leaders, he who has scored just two goals and provided an assist in 14 La Liga appearances. Suddenly, a few days before the launch of the winter transfer window 2022, a rumor quickly appeared to evoke a return of the 31-year-old player to the country, to Boca Juniors more precisely.
It’s the everyday La Nacion who argued that the Xeneize had already contacted the striker still belonging to Olympique de Marseille, who left the Argentinian club in 2019 to come to La Canebière. But for a few days, no one spoke about the Benedetto case, at least until today. Because in an interview with TyC Sports, Boca Juniors, through the voice of one of its leaders Jorge Bermúdez formalized his strong interest in the native of Berazategui.
“We are studying all possible alternatives”
“We are working day after day, minute after minute, we know and we are clear that Benedetto would be a huge addition to the team, he would bring a lot. The club makes the effort (to retrieve it), sent Jorge Bermúdez before continuing. It’s not easy, we are going to fight seriously, we are not going to say anything outside of reality. We are very excited. ” But the operation will inevitably have a cost, that this evening on the assumption of responsibility for the salary of Dario Benedetto, or the allowances sent to the OM. And that, the leader of Boca Juniors knows well.
“It’s a big economic blow. The French club (OM) paid nearly 18 million for Pipa. Boca must find the tools to get there. ” The arrival of Dario Benedetto is therefore still a long way off, but the Argentinian club leaves the door open to everything: “It all depends on how the negotiation develops and ends. We are studying all possible alternatives. The work of the player’s representative is also ongoing. The parties must come to an agreement and agree on the value of the transaction. It is not easy.” One thing is certain, the main concerned is already keen on the idea of returning to Boca Juniors, as confirmed by Jorge Bermúdez … But the negotiations are likely to be still long.
