The Boca Juniors squad would be very close to finalizing the signing of Franco Cervi, who has been linked to America and Tigres, however, the priority of the current Benfica player would be to return to Argentina.
According to Olé, Cervi, who initially rejected Boca Juniors' proposal, contacted the sporting director, Nicolás Burdisso, to tell him that he had analyzed his situation and his best option was to sign with Boca Juniors, so the club has resumed negotiations with Red Eagles.
The signing of Franco, 25 years old, who emigrated to Portugal in 2016, could be made official in the next few hours and would be an option for Gustavo Alfaro, the Boca DT, for the upcoming Argentine league matches as well as for the Copa Libertadores semifinals against River Plate.
The Portuguese newspaper A Bola highlighted a few days ago that Cervi was in the orbit of a major club in Liga MX and rumors arose that it was America or Tigres, however, the player's agent indicated in an interview with AS that the player will not join Mexican soccer.
Meanwhile, America made the arrival of Uruguayan forward Federico Viñas official, who could debut against Pumas in Matchday 9 of the 2019 Apertura.
