The possible signing of Paolo Guerrero with Boca Juniors continues to be one of the main topics of conversation in the Argentine media. While in Brazil it is indicated that his move to the 'xeneize' team has fallen through, there is still hope that his arrival at the club will be confirmed, especially with the recent injury of Ramón Ábila.

In this regard, Reinaldo Merlo referred to Paolo Guerrero and stated that he will have many difficulties adapting to the Argentine Superliga. "He will find it difficult in Argentine football. Defenders here press you a lot, mark well, and do not give you any advantages. He's tough, but I still think it will be difficult for him. Besides, I can't compare him to Daniele de Rossi because he didn't play fifteen consecutive games," he said on 'TyC Sports'.

At the same table as Reinaldo Merlo was none other than one of the most recognized coaches in the history of Boca Juniors: Alfio Basile. The 'Coco' also believed the same as 'Mostaza' about Paolo Guerrero and doubted that Inter de Porto Alegre would let him go. "I like him, but I don't know about here. As you get older, you almost fall off the map at 36. Besides, 'Chacho' won't want to let him go," he concluded.
