He left in 2014 for Italy with Chievo, then went through Roma, Empoli, Zenit St Petersburg, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and returned to Roma again in 2023.
Boca Juniors to activate Paredes clause

His contract with the Giallorossi runs to June 2026, but there is a release clause in the deal worth €3.5m.
TyC Sports and transfer pundit Cesar Luis Merlo are both adamant this evening that Boca Juniors have agreed to pay the release clause and are working on the details.
Paredes is also ready to sign a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club from Buenos Aires.
The midfielder is not thought to be part of the plans for new Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini and the side needs to sell before June 30 to avoid falling foul of Financial Fair Play limitations.
Meanwhile, Boca Juniors realised they could not negotiate the terms down and decided to go for the full fee.

Tottenham former phenom considers shock retirement at age 29
He was a phenom. But now, at the age of 29, he might be done with his footballing career. Dele Alli is reportedly considering retirement, with Italian media sharing that Alli isn't in Como's plans in Serie A and may hang up his cleats instead of pursuing a new opportunity. It'd be a brutal ending to a career that for so long had so much promise. Dele grew up in Milton Keynes and signed with MK Dons' youth system at 11. He broke into the senior side at 16 and scored 24 goals in 88 appearances there. Tottenham signed Dele at that point, and in each of his first two seasons with Spurs, he was voted PFA Young Player of the Year. After Mauricio Pochettino left, Dele's relationships with Spurs' new managers weren't as good, and his form dipped. He left for Everton at that point. Dele also spent time on loan at Besiktas in Turkey. He only made it to Como in January 2025. At his peak, Dele donned an England kit, too, earning 37 caps. He scored a goal in the 2018 World Cup as England reached the semifinals. Dele scored 51 goals in 181 career appearances at Tottenham Hotspur. He made only one appearance with Como, and was sent off with a red card after just 10 minutes on the pitch for a nasty challenge on fellow Englishman Ruben Loftus-Cheek. If this is indeed the end for Dele, it's a sad one. He once was what journalist Phil McNulty described as "the golden boy of English football." But in McNulty's words as well, he declined to a "lost talent." MORE: LeBron James could turn into NBA's biggest competition with $200 million from Saudi Arabia

All Blacks scrum-half Roigard out of Argentina Tests
All Black Cameron Roigard has been ruled out of two Tests in Argentina, New Zealand Rugby announced Sunday, with the scrum-half joining a worrying injury list ahead of the Rugby Championship. Roigard suffered a stress fracture to his foot while playing in last month's 3-0 home series sweep of an under-strength France. Scan results confirmed he won't be fit for Tests against the Pumas in Cordoba on August 16 and Buenos Aires a week later, robbing New Zealand of a speedy half, who has emerged as a key player under coach Scott Robertson. The 24-year-old's availability for two home Tests against South Africa in September is unclear. Robertson will need to dig into his scrum-half depth when naming a 36-man squad on Monday to travel to Argentina. Noah Hotham was already ruled out with an ankle injury, leaving only Cortez Ratima available from the three scrum-halves involved in the France series. Robertson may consider a recall for 23-cap scrum-half Finlay Christie, whose last test was more than a year ago against England. Another candidate is Otago Highlander Folau Fakatava, who made two bench appearances against Ireland in 2022. Robertson had previously said first-choice prop Tyrel Lomax and winger Caleb Clarke will miss the Argentina Tests as they recuperate from injury, along with Hotham and back-rower Luke Jacobson. Captain Scott Barrett is likely to be included after missing the last two French Tests with a calf muscle complaint. His brother and playmaker Beauden Barrett is also expected to be available after shaking off an injury, along with key forwards Tupou Vaa'i, Wallace Sititi and Tamaiti Williams. dgi/fox
