Boca Juniors is in search of a central defender at the express request of Miguel Ángel Russo. The departure of Paraguayan Junior Alonso, who left for Atlético Mineiro, left a gap that the coach wants to fill in the face of a possible resumption of the Copa Libertadores.
The Buenos Aires squad has experienced players Carlos Izquierdoz, Lisandro López, and Peruvian Carlos Zambrano, but the Argentine coach needs one more central defender for any inconvenience.
According to Olé, Miguel Ángel Russo has already made the request to Juan Román Riquelme, in charge of the Boca Juniors Football Council. "We have two or three options that we are already handling," a source within the club told the newspaper.
Finding a central defender is the new objective of the Boca Juniors board, which is working on renewing the contracts of Carlos Tevez and Mauro Zárate, arranging the new loan of Franco Soldano, and signing Chilean Mauricio Isla.
