Marcelo Gallardo would have asked for a former Boca player who he faced in the historic final in Madrid for Al Ittihad. The negotiation would even be advanced, with a three-year contract for the Uruguayan.
There would be another Arab club that would also be interested in having the Cagliari midfielder: Al Qadisiya. Inter Milan could also be included on the list, which would closely follow in the footsteps of the Urugusayan, who has a good presence in Serie A.
