Boca Enters Race for Vélez Winger Maher Carrizo After River Bid Stalls

No club has lodged a formal bid that meets Vélez's terms.

Overview

  • Boca Juniors has asked Vélez about conditions for Maher Carrizo but has not submitted a formal offer.
  • River Plate had a near-agreement with Vélez at around US$6–6.5 million for 50% of the player, yet Carrizo declined due to his preference for Europe.
  • Feyenoord and Benfica have made initial enquiries, with interest expected to be below River's figures and without formal proposals to date.
  • Carrizo is under contract with Vélez until December 2027 with a reported US$16 million release clause, and the club is open to convincing offers given its finances.
  • The 19-year-old winger has 51 senior appearances with 11 goals and 3 assists, and Boca has recently added winger Marino Hinestroza as its first reinforcement.
