While the return to football begins to take shape on a not-so-distant horizon, Miguel Russo, Mariano Herrón and Leandro Somoza are working in Boca's technical staff in planning that is difficult to establish with certainty, but with constant analysis on how to make the squad beyond June 30. Not only for the highs and lows that may exist and the youth to promote, but also for an issue to which we must be vigilant: the quota of foreigners, including Sebastián Villa, involved in a judicial complaint for gender violence.
With the resolutions that are being taken in AFA and the position of Argentine Football Players Guild to try to keep the work of the majority of Argentine players, the gaze on foreigners returns to the center of the scene . Today 6 players of another nationality are allowed per campus, but only 5 can sign the roster in each match. Something that was approved in 2017, after a bid between AFA and Members.
Now the space for outdoor players seems to be reduced. There are two main factors. The price of the dollar is very unfavorable, because each player from abroad who intends to extract his income in pesos for the corresponding currency loses between 20 and 30 percent. And besides, the intention of many AFA teams is to promote their own youth.}
Will team quantity be covered again? It is a matter that has been recorded by the Guild members, but has not yet been considered, according to what they entrusted to Clarín from the entity.
The Colombians of Boca. Fabra does not occupy a place as a non-community.
With the current rules, in Boca they must make decisions in the Football Council after the evaluation of Miguel Russo and company. Because the squad includes Colombians Sebastián Villa and Jorman Campuzano, Peruvian Carlos Zambrano, Paraguayan Junior Alonso and Venezuelan Jan Hurtado.
In the case of Fabra, who has been in the country for four years, he does not occupy a place as a foreigner. But from June Sebastián Pérez will train again (he has a link until 2021 with the club) and if Celta de Vigo does not make use of Lucas Olaza's purchase option, the Uruguayan must return to Brandsen 805, where there will be no place for another foreigner .
Various situations appear on stage. The first is that of Villa, who is denounced for a cause that altered his relationship with the club for the immediate future. Therefore, if offers for it appear, they will be analyzed in detail and in the case of closing the amounts, it will be transferred . Thus, the club would release more than a foreign quota.

With Junior Alonso you should chat to be able to extend your link with the club, since it ends on June 30. Russo established its continuity as one of the priorities for the Football Council, including on the resolution of the issues of Carlos Tevez and Mauro Zárate.
That is why Boca will speak with the French Lille, owner of the defender, to offer him to buy his pass in an extensive financing plan.
The other foreigner who is under the magnifying glass and who can open the door to free a place is Jan Hurtado, who after missing the first games of the year had no minutes with Miguel Russo. That is why in the coaching staff they believe that it can be loaned to add minutes, or from the Football Council they find a club to be transferred.
Will it be in Europe or in Mexico? By AFA provision, if a foreigner is transferred to a foreign club, it ceases to occupy a place in the records of domestic football for that season.

Sebastián Pérez, who has been training with the squad since January after being in Barcelona from Guayaquil, will have his contract with the AFA come into effect from June. And with almost no minutes to play, it will be Russo who makes a decision about his future with the club to see if he becomes the sixth foreigner or not.

Why is this situation important? Because from the Football Council they believe that a gap should always be open in case recruitment options appear from abroad. As in January, the Uruguayan striker Juan Ignacio Ramírez or the Colombian Edwin Cardona, as well as the Peruvian Paolo Guerrero.
Could it be that Boca will advance to the bottom by Chile's Mauricio Isla in June? First, for that, you have to sharpen the pencil with what you have.
