The ball is held by Carlos Tevez. A few days after the end of his contract with the club, from Boca they sent in writing the economic proposal to extend Carlitos's contract for at least 12 more months, with the possibility of extending it until December 2021 if the team at that time is in decisive instances of the Copa Libertadores. I don't know

Will Apache give the ok? In the Football Council led by Juan Román Riquelme they spoke with the footballer and they explained his idea: to find him again with the desire, with the hunger to win and also fulfill what they talked about in January, when they assured him that they would do everything possible so that he can retire with the blue and gold shirt. Tevez, since then, played at a good level and led the Boca title in the Super League. Then, in public, he thanked Riquelme and Miguel Russo because they had returned the desire to continue playing.

But Carlitos not only expressed that appreciation. He also noted that his idea was to retire with the Boca shirt and that "everything would be resolved in 5 minutes."He even drew an analogy true to his style: "If necessary, I stay as a prop in Boca". Boca's sports and economic proposal, of course, is not to accommodate clothing. The club wants him to continue contributing on and off the pitch as he did in the first part of this year.

In economic terms, the contract that Boca made and that he sent to the player's representative, puts him as one of the best payments on the team . With a bonus for objectives and with different clauses than those he had set in 2015, when he returned as the figure of Juventus to put on the Boca shirt. It is clear: he is the benchmark of the team and that is why the recognition of his career is reflected in the club's contract. But accommodated to a different context and a new reality: Carlitos is 36 years old (he turns 37 in February) and the months stopped by the pandemic generate a question mark about how he will return to the rhythm of the competition. How he will compete again is something that worries Russo.

Although in the last months with Boca his salary income was tied to the contract with AFA (an average amount is set) because Tevez had already collected in advance everything that was left in December, before the end of Daniel Angelici's term, now the CD intention is that you perceive what it is: a reference. However, the proposal was also adapted to the very different economic context, with a complex national and regional scenario. What Tevez earned until 2019 made him the best payment in Argentine football. Even that bond was maintained when he returned from his year in Chinese soccer.

In the most important thing they agree: the CD (that put aside old grudges for the participation of Carlitos in the 2015 elections supporting Angelici) and Tevez want him to say goodbye to football wearing Boca's shirt. But now it will be the player who has to answer if he accepts the proposal or if they negotiate for some modifications. Nobody believes that Carlitos asks for financial follies in this scenario for all that he has already publicly expressed about his wishes to continue in the club. "Our idea is that he retire in Boca and if he has good will it will be resolved in 5 minutes," confirmed Ameal.

June 30th not only marks the end of the Apache contract. He also began to negotiate with Mauro Zarate , a player who had a link in force until June 2021 but that failure to meet targets under the link for automatic renewal receive a new proposal. The idea of ​​the Soccer Council is that it stays between 12 or 18 months more with Boca but also adapting its income to the new scenario of Argentine soccer. A member of the group managed by Juan Román Riquelme has already spoken to him and in the next few hours he will receive in writing the club's proposal to stay. It was a request from the DT, although it will have to be seen if the numbers close for everyone.
