Boca Juniors are nearing a deal to sign Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes, who has been their top target for several weeks. The club’s discussions with AS Roma, Paredes’ current club, have progressed, but several details remain to be ironed out before the transfer can be completed.
Paredes, who plays as a central midfielder, has a history with several top clubs, having previously played for various teams before joining AS Roma. He is known for his tenacious style of play and ability to control the tempo of the game. The transfer is expected to be facilitated by the activation of a release clause in Paredes’ contract, with according to recent reports, this clause being a key factor in the negotiations.
AS Roma are awaiting formal steps from Paredes regarding his future, according to the latest updates. The Italian club had previously been in talks with Paredes over a contract extension, with reports emerging in February that an agreement was near. However, it appears that Paredes has since opted to explore a move to Boca Juniors instead.
