Boca Juniors coach praises Arturo Vidal: ‘We know the class he has’

Arturo Vidal is yet to decide on his future. It is a fact that he will leave Inter Milan , but it is not yet defined where he will continue his career. Flamengo’s interest in signing him is public, but in recent days the Brazilians found themselves with a tough opponent to sign him: Boca Juniors. In Argentina, they recognized the interest of proposing a proposal, although they specified that it will be very difficult to compete economically with the power of the Cariocas. There is another element with which they intend to seduce him: the possibility of acting in the Bombonera.

Meanwhile, the xeneizes are excited. And they recognize it. First it was Juan Román Riquelme, the current vice-president and, for many, the club’s biggest idol. Now it is coach Sebastián Battaglia who recognizes that the King is a player he wants to rely on. “Vidal is a player with experience and hierarchy who can do good for Argentine football. That would give us a leap in quality “, says the coach in an interview with ESPN Argentina.

“He is a player with a lot of experience. We know the class he has and what he can bring to our team. I hope it can be given. It would be very important he adds, excited by the possibility that a possible negotiation with the former Colo Colo and Barcelona midfielder can be concluded successfully.

Battaglia awaits the evolution of dialogue efforts with the King on the needs he hopes to cover. “I haven’t spoken to him yet, maybe the time hasn’t come yet. If it happens, I will. We’ll see how it goes “, he specifies, waiting for the management to crystallize the operation.

Vidal admitted that playing in the Bombonera appealed to him. “Until today, I never had the chance to play at La Bombonera. I’ve always wanted to feel what they say it feels like there. We all know how successful they are, what their people are,” he said in 2020, when his farewell to European football still seemed too distant.
