The transfer window in Argentine football is slowly heating up, and the giants have big appetites. Although Argentine clubs usually make important transfers in the January transfer window before the international competitions start – in the summer, opportunities are used to strengthen the teams to attack the trophies. The group stage of the Copa Libertadores has ended, and the round of 16 starts on June 28.Of course, Boca Juniors and River Plate always have the greatest ambitions and aim for the trophy. Especially after three years of domination of Brazilian clubs. In the round of 16 Boca go to Corinthians, and River to Velez. The possible Superclassico is projected in the semifinals if both clubs reach that stage.And in that eventual semifinal, we could watch some of the most resounding names in South American football. Both clubs are working on capital reinforcements for which the deadline is the day before the quarterfinals. If Boca knock out Corinthians, and River eliminates Velez, in the Superclassico we can expect a clash between Luis Suarez on the one hand, and James Rodriguez and Arturo Vidal on the other. And it is not impossible for Edinson Cavani to be in the picture.Mon 00:00: (4.10) Union Santa Fe (3.45) River Plate (1.96)Let’s start with River Plate and Suarez.For the first time in the 121-year history of the famous club, River did not score in the first three rounds. The irony is that River, after Talleres, have the most shots on goal and within the goal in the first three rounds. So they lack an executor. And after the next round, they are left without their striker Julian Alvarez, who is moving to Manchester City. It was also clear to Marcelo Gallardo that his team needed a goal scorer with a killer instinct, and that is why River started the operation to bring Suarez a few weeks ago.El Pistolero is free after the expiration of his contract with Atletico Madrid, he has offers from Fiorentina, Atalanta, Real Sociedad, Lazio, he is wanted by clubs from the Netherlands, America, Qatar, Turkey, Germany… His plan is to stay in Europe to be ready for the World Cup in Qatar.But River Plate is still River Plate – and it tickled the imagination of the famous Uruguayan. He was personally called by River’s director Enzo Francescoli, and there is no need to explain what it means for every Uruguayan to be personally invited by the legendary Prince. Then Gallardo called him personally. River made an offer.’I talked to him, I know him, I respect him. We want him, we offer him a chance to come to Argentine football, to an institution like our club, to play serious competitive football and to prepare for the World Cup in the best way. Nothing more on us, the decision is only on him”, said Gallardo.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The media from Suarez’s homeland write that Pistolero is very close to rejecting all other offers and starting his career at Monumental, where he would be welcomed as a superstar and would ideally fit into Gallardo’s system. He was also called by his representative colleague Nicolas de la Cruz, who has been one of the main men of River’s game for years. And Uruguay is a few hours from Buenos Aires…River’s angry rival Boca Juniors have even more ambitious plans. Juan Roman Riquelme will try to realize some of his ambitious plans. In the previous few transitional periods, Riquelme negotiated with Edinson Cavani, but then the Uruguayan had more attractive European offers.”I talked to Cavani and I believe that he will come to us next year, with God’s help. He told me back in December that he wanted to play for Boca. I told him that the only problem was that the stadium could collapse if he played for us. I have no doubt that Cavani will play for Boca,” Juan Riquelme said two years ago.Now the Matador is free and the chances of moving to Bombonera are much higher. He is also wanted by Valencia, Villarreal and Mexican Toluca, who may be able to pay more, but Boca are still a special challenge in the career of every South American. What he has at Bombonera – he can’t get anywhere in the world… Like Suarez, he needs a team in which he will be the first option and revive his career before the World Cup.A ver… Si Luis Suárez termina jugando en River Plate y Cavani llega a Boca Juniors en este mercado de pases, le daré 10 dólares a cada uno de los que de RETWEET y LIKE a esta publicación. 🤑Participan solo los que me sigan en @MykeRincon ✅ No diré mas: CUMPLO. 😎 pic.twitter.com/xTJGe2iyEe— Michael Rincón ✍🏼 (@MykeRincon) June 12, 2022 In addition to Cavani, Boca also want Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal. He has another year of contract with Inter, but it has long been clear that Nerazzurri are not counting on him and that they want to get rid of his high salary, which would amount to as much as 9.5 million euros net next season, because it is a progressive contract (first season 3 million, second 6.5 million, third 9.5 million euros). However, Inter have a clause that they can terminate the third year of the contract if they pay 4 million euros in compensation to Vidal, and it will most likely do so if they do not receive any offers.Colo Colo, Marseille, Galatasaray and the rich Brazilian Flamengo are interested in Vidal, who have prepared the most concrete offer for him. But when Boca entered the race, Vidal put all other options aside. He often pointed out in his career that his dream is to play at Bombonera and to experience that feeling.”I would like to play for Boca. But now it’s all up to my agent Fernando Felicevich,” Vidal said last night.Felicevich is expected to agree on a break with Inter and collect as much compensation as possible…”Cavani and Vidal were born to play for our club,” Roman Riquelme said two days ago.Mon 02:30: (6.25) Barracas (3.60) Boca Juniors (1.66)Riquelme has already sent an official offer to Arturo and is waiting for his answer when he gets the green light and money from Inter. Other clubs offer more but Boca rely on the player’s desire to wear the cult blue and yellow jersey and play at La Bombonera.Riquelme did not mention the name of James Rodriguez, but something is happening there. There is a chance that the Colombian will come to Bombonera. He wants to break the agreement with Qatar’s Al Ryan, which he signed for in the winter, but he is not used to it and he wants to escape from the Arab petromonarchy. There are European clubs that want him, but allegedly he is the most enthusiastic about moving to Boca.”James’ arrival in Boca would be an ideal move to rehabilitate his career. Returning to South American football is not a step back in his career. Look at the case of Quintero, who returned to River and launched his career after difficult years. James would revive with Boca.’, Rodriguez’s uncle told the Colombian media.Argentine club football is heating up…
