Chiquito Romero signed for Boca and upset Racing

Edinson Cavani’s last “no”. Mouth has sparked many memes. So many rejections from the Uruguayan. Juan Román Riquelme’s rule as vice president, with so many conflicts, was more tarnished. However, Boca reacted quickly and not only left a few contract extensions for promising youngsters. He also added the inclusion of a dazzling figure: Sergio Romero. No one thought that this pass would cause an explosion in Racing.

The former goalkeeper of the Argentine National Team, after several meetings he held last week, agreed to his contract on Monday and was officially presented.

At 35 years old, Chiquito arrived to occupy a position in Boca for a few days with conflict. It is that Agustín Rossi, a specialist in penalties and one of the great figures of the squad, did not agree to renew the contract. The club lowered the blind in the negotiations and harsh words were crossed inviting us to think that the situation was irreversible.

Consequently, with the landing of Sergio Romero, who arrived for free and signed a contract until December 2024, Boca solved the problem of the goalkeeper thinking about the Libertadores 2023, the great attraction, the pending account for 15 years .

“Boca is the biggest club in Argentina and I have come to show that I am ready,” said Romero, who will wear the number 25 on his shirt. It is certainly speculative in the possibility that Chiquito cut the classic against Racing, the club where he started and trained in the last days after his time in Venezia in Italy.

Romero said: “I’m a professional. I am a Racing fan, but football is a job. Now I owe myself to Boca and I will do everything to make it right. If I had to play I would defend these colors. It’s a job. When presented with this club, it’s hard to say no. Boca introduced himself and I said yes. If it was Racing I would have said it, but it never came”.

In Racing they are very angry with Chiquito. President Víctor Blanco is silent on this: “We did everything for him to return. We opened the doors for him to practice, we named a court after him. It hurts me to see him in Boca”. He doesn’t want to think that he is a rival this weekend with Cilindro: “I really don’t want him to go out on the pitch on Sunday and play against Racing. I was a bit shocked when I saw him wearing a different shirt, but he is a professional”.

The doors are closed for now for the Career meta

Will there be a possibility of Romero returning to Racing in the future? “I’m not saying that the doors of the club are closed for him forever, but for a long time, yes,” Blanco shot. Of course, he accepted that the Academy was not looking for a goalkeeper and they thought he would continue in another club And he said that the current goalkeepers of his club, Gabriel Arias and Gastón Gómez, are at the same level as Romero”.

The president of Racing did not hesitate when asked if he was concerned that Chiquito said that Boca is the biggest club in the country knowing the rivalry that exists in the Academy: “Of course I have the same feeling of anger from the fans. It is sad what Romero said, it’s not necessary.
