With Agustín Rossi's imminent departure at the end of the season at Boca Juniors, Pedro Gallese's name was rumored as one of the candidates for the new xeneize goalkeeper. However, in recent hours another option would be gaining strength among the board of directors of the auriazul team to occupy that position.
According to ESPN, the priority of the blue and gold team is Sergio Romero, who played for several seasons at Manchester United in the Premier League and is currently without a team.
“Yesterday, 'Chiquito' Romero was here at the Boca Juniors training ground. What I still need to confirm is whether he took a formal proposal from Boca and if he is close to responding. If so, it seems to me that Boca wants to add a goalkeeper before August 8,” said reporter Diego Monroig.

Why is Boca Juniors looking for a goalkeeper?
Boca Juniors is looking for a high-quality goalkeeper with the imminent departure of Agustín Rossi, who was the regular starter for this team. According to the information we have, the goalkeeper did not accept the proposal made by the blue and gold club to renew his contract.
In response, the xeneize board declared the negotiations with the Argentine goalkeeper over and is already analyzing other alternatives for players to fill that position.
“Boca Juniors' position is that the negotiation is already over. From Boca's side, they understand that there is no chance for Rossi to come back and accept the original offer (...). Only Rossi knows that, although Boca perceives that it is already finished. From Boca's side, the negotiation is considered concluded,” said journalist Diego Monroig on ESPN.
