According to the Argentine newspaper Olé, Juan Román Riquelme, president of Boca Juniors, wanted to count on the midfielder.
The club even contacted the Colombian when he left São Paulo in June 2024. Negotiations, however, did not progress, as the player had the desire to return to Europe. This time, the deal didn’t go well either.
