The cheap dollar explains part of the revolution that is taking place in the foreign exchange market. Argentinaespecially for the bets of River and of Bocawho could spend around 50 million dollars to strengthen their squads for 2025, which seduces with the Club World Cup. Another determining factor is the presence of Marcelo Gallardo and of Juan Roman Riquelmewho take charge of the negotiations to convince the elite footballers. But hidden, involuntary and unthinkable, there is another character who is fundamental for the arrival of stars to the Professional League: Lionel Scalonithe father of the Combined.
Why is Scaloni important for the arrival of figures to Argentina? Because at the end of last year he sent a public message that went deep into the Scaloneta locker room. “We need players to play for their clubs”warned the one born in Pujato, a little worried about the lack of filming of some footballers.
“We need the players to play. These six games were very close and we chose to continue with the Copa América base. But from now on we need everyone to play and from there decide each person’s level, as we have always done. This time we chose to continue bringing some to give it the right. “It is still in our plan to continue seeing players”was Scaloni’s sentence in November.
So, from Scaloni’s words we can also understand this massive arrival of footballers old enough to continue in Europe. The first to take the step were German Pezzella (33)a regular substitute at Fiorentina, and Marcos Acuña (33)with little filming in Seville due to repeated injuries. Both the defender and the left back continued to be called up by the National Team coach. Others who joined River with some National Team expectations were Fabricio Bustos (28) and Maximiliano Meza (32).
Now, those who turned River around were Lucas Martínez Quarta (28)who alternated at Fiorentina, and Gonzalo Montiel (28)substitute in Seville. And this Wednesday the news came out that the Núñez cast found out conditions for Guido Rodríguez (30)with little action in West Ham of the Premier League and that was losing place in the Scaloneta. Can Gallardo convince another world champion in Qatar? And more: Will Sebastián Driussi (28) hope to be summoned if he breaks it in the country?
In Boca, meanwhile, they dream of Leandro Paredes (30)the midfielder who has not finished imposing himself in Rome. Riquelme has already made an offer to the Italian team, which would also have another – much more succulent – from Arab football. Furthermore, it is possible that Alan Velasco (22) and? Rodrigo Battaglia (32) They have made efforts to get to Boca to be on Scaloni’s radar. The same thing the goalkeeper is doing right now Agustín Marchesín (36).
In addition, there are other clubs that hired players that could be in the Scaloneta’s consideration: Estudiantes signed Lucas Alario (32) and Cristian Medina (22)while Racing repatriated Matías Zaracho (26).
“The National Team is not affected either for better or worse by the number of teams in the Argentine tournament. For now, there is no situation of calling local soccer players by my decision, not by the format. It is not my place to talk about “I’m not the one to say whether it’s right or wrong.”Scaloni explained last December.
Possibly, the current transfer market will go down in history as the best and the most expensive. And Lionel Scaloni, involuntarily, will remain one of the great people responsible for the many and unthinkable movements.
