Beyond having officially presented the Paraguayan defender Bruno Valdéz on Monday afternoon, who arrived free after disassociating himself with América from Mexico, Boca keeps his eyes firmly on Sergio Barreto.
The central defender of Independiente is to the liking of Hugo Ibarra and Juan Román Riquelme, who communicated last week with Fabián Doman, the red president, to begin a negotiation that is still open.
What does Independiente need to agree to sell Barreto to Boca?
In Avellaneda they are trying to put their accounts in order after the end of the Hugo Moyano cycle
.
And one of the biggest debts that gives him a tremendous headache is the one he drags with America, which exceeds 5 million dollars.
That is why if they are going to get rid of one of the fruits of the quarry with the greatest sales power, it must be used to cover that value.
For this reason, the first offers that arrived from La Boca were insufficient, especially for the value of the dollar.
While
from the shore they offer almost 1.9 million dollars for 50 percent to be paid at official value
, in Diablo they ask for blue value... The difference, then, is significant: more than 300 million pesos.
In addition, in Independiente they also seek to include the outstanding debt for Pablo Pérez's pass, which is 450 thousand dollars.
In this way, they would cross out two inherited debts in one go.

At the moment there was no agreement.
However, in Avellaneda they send signals to the xeneize Football Council.
If they improve the proposal, they are willing to release the defender who does not press to leave, although their representative is intermediating to try to bring the parties closer.
At the same time, from Paraguay they warned that they are also interested since, in addition, Barreto has nationality from the neighboring country.
The Asunción box could offer in the next few hours.
And in this case, Red's claims are exactly the same as with Boca.
Leandro Stillitano, the red coach, has Barreto as one of the untouchable starters in his defense.
But he is very clear that if Independiente's numbers close, he will lose
Checho
from one day to the next before the start of the championship.
"Until a while ago, when I asked, there was no news about the Barreto issue. For us he is a very important player, but we know that one possibility is that he can leave," said the coach this Monday in an interview with
TyC Sports
.
For now, the defender born in Clorinda, Formosa province, is training with the Independiente squad in Villa Domínico, waiting for what the future holds for him in 2023.
Will he continue in Avellaneda, will he move to La Boca or will he head to for Asunción?
