Boca Eyes Vélez’s Maher Carrizo After He Rejects River Move

The 19-year-old favors a transfer to Europe, complicating attempts by Argentine clubs to secure his signature.

Overview

  • Boca Juniors has contacted Vélez Sarsfield to learn the conditions for signing Maher Carrizo, with no formal offer confirmed.
  • Carrizo prioritizes a move to Europe, with Feyenoord and Benfica making preliminary inquiries but not submitting bids.
  • River Plate had advanced with an offer of roughly $6–6.5 million for 50% of Carrizo’s rights, which the player turned down.
  • Vélez is prepared to listen to convincing proposals given its financial needs, with a reported $16 million release clause and conflicting reports on contract expiry between December 2026 and December 2027.
  • In parallel, Boca completed the signing of Marino Hinestroza from Atlético Nacional for about $5 million for full rights plus a 20% sell-on clause.
