The Boca Soccer Council headed by Juan Román Riquelme, will stand firm and use all the legal tools at its disposal in the absence of Colombian striker Sebastián Villa in practice this Friday morning, who has everything arranged to be transferred to the Bruges of Belgium.
The message from the leadership is clear: if the offer from abroad is not closed, the 25-year-old player will stay in Boca and it will be seen over time whether he will play or not.
But beyond the demands of the footballer and his environment - in this case his representatives - the Football Council values him as an important asset and will not lower the economic claims for the striker.
"I want to tell you that the Villa issue went to our legal department, we are waiting, it will be summoned and there are no sanctions or anything. We work according to whether it can be resolved," said Boca president Jorge Ameal in statements to the press.

Along with Ameal was Jorge Bermúdez, a member of the Soccer Council, who also spoke about the absence in the practices of the Colombian soccer player.
"As for Villa, we have to share and surround the players in the best way, that they do not lack anything, that they are up to date, that they live well with their families and a good work environment. Their personal decisions must be made by them," he said. Patron Bermúdez, one of Riquelme's closest collaborators.
Villa, 25, did not show up for training on Friday morning.
On Thursday he met with the coach, Miguel Ángel Russo, whom he told that he wants to go and play for Bruges in Belgium.
He immediately removed his personal belongings and said goodbye to some colleagues on the Ezeiza property.

The Colombian footballer has a contract until December 30, 2024 and
his representative has everything arranged with Bruges of Belgium
to move towards a three-year contract.
The European club would have offered $ 7,000,000 for its pass and Boca, which owns 70 percent of its file while Deportes Tolima de Colombia has the remaining 30%, rejected the proposal and is waiting for the club European raise the amount of the proposal.
In addition, Villa faces a case for gender violence filed last year by his ex-partner Daniela Cortés, which has already been brought to trial by the Criminal Chamber of Lomas de Zamora.
