Boca Juniors Aims for Mauro Icardi

DBasia.news –  Argentine club, Boca Juniors, has a big ambition after recruiting Daniele De Rossi. Not satisfied with De Rossi, Boca reportedly also wants Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi.

Boca President, Daniel Angelici, confirmed his team’s intention to recruit the Argentine striker. Through Nicolas Burdisso, Boca Sports Director and former Inter defender, Boca has spoken to Inter regarding Icardi’s situation.

“I know Burdisso has spoken to (Javier, Inter Vice President) Zanetto and asked about Icardi’s situation. It is worth asking, after all asking is free,” Angelici said when speaking to Radio Cooperativa.

Icardi’s fate is currently the main topic at Inter. The former Sampdoria player has been ‘frozen’ from the squad by Antonio Conte, Inter coach, Beppe Marotta (CEO of Inter), and Inter President Steven Zhang.

Since then, the 26-year-old player has been rumored with a number of clubs such as Napoli, AS Roma, Juventus, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). But until now, there have been no concrete offers coming to recruit Icardi.

If there was a miracle and Boca managed to recruit Icardi, he would return to his hometown and meet De Rossi, AS Roma legend, plus his former team-mate in the Argentine national team, Carlos Tevez. De Rossi, 36, has made a surprising decision to spend his career in Argentina.

When other footballers who were at the end of their career chose to play in China or the United States, De Rossi actually chose to be anti-mainstream and picked Boca. The reason is because the fans are fanatics.

“Lately I feel I want to be inside this stadium, to find out in depth of what it means,” De Rossi said.

“The response at the airport was extraordinary. I can’t thank you enough, beides doing my job as seriously as possible. I have to be serious in order to show that we have all made good decisions.”

“being 36 years old and changing everything at once is something that can frighten me, but this place stimulates me, and Nicolas is my guarantee,” he added.

“I need serious people, with a structure similar to Europe, and what I’ve seen here is that this place is suitable for work.”

“I asked myself many times. I lived 20 years in a country where football lives 24 hours a day.”

“I can choose a much calmer place to relax, but I only know one thing: seriousness, and then I chose to come to a place that has the craziest supporters in football,” concluded De Rossi.
