Thunder at La Bombonera, lightning at Sao Paulo. They may be in the final stages of their careers, but not so long ago they were the stars of European football. And every time a player with a great European club in his CV returns to South America, there is a positive hysteria in the stands.On the same day, Boca Juniors signed Edinson Cavani while Sao Paulo had James Rodríguez officially join the ranks of the Tricolor.##NAJAVA_MECA_7400592##Along with Carlos Tevez, Cavani is the biggest name at Bombonera in the recent history of the club. Unlike Tevez, Cavani is neither Argentine nor a child of Boca, but the Matador also has hot South American blood in his veins. As was announced, the Uruguayan kept his word to Juan Roman Riquelme after terminating his contract with Valencia yesterday and signed a contract for a year and a half with Boca.¡Felices de tenerte en casa, @ECavaniOfficial! 💙💛💙 pic.twitter.com/zMy5Y2WAKY— Boca Juniors (@BocaJrsOficial) July 29, 2023 The Argentinian giant thus won the race against time. Cavani will be registered for the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores, and it is up to coach Jorge Almiron to decide how much he will be used in the doubleheader against Uruguayan Nacional on August 2 and 9.When it comes to James Rodíguez, Sao Paulo will be his fourth club in 2020. Carlo Ancelotti tried to revitalize his career at Everton – he failed. After that, the Colombian played for Al Rayyan, ending his short chapter in Olympiacos ingloriously. We will see what his move to the Morumbi stadium will bring.James signed a contract until 2025 with the option of an extension for another. At the same time, a very nice annual salary of 2,000,000 dollars awaits him in Sao Paulo, where he came as a free agent after breaking up with the Greek team.O tricolor @jamesdrodriguez 🔥#JamesTricolor#SejaSócioTorcedor#VamosSãoPaulo 🇾🇪 pic.twitter.com/YXEuExYh4S— São Paulo FC (@SaoPauloFC) July 29, 2023
