Relief for América de Cali: Cristian Barrios moves further from Junior
It was known that Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata had started proceedings to sign him, an interest that the Argentine club had already shown at the beginning of the year. But the 'Wolf' withdrew from the negotiations, presumably worried about the ankle injury that Barrios suffered in the Copa Sudamericana, which would still take some time to recover.

In this context, Junior de Barranquilla appeared, which these days has seemed very linked to América in the transfer market (including rumors about Juanfer Quintero).
With the arrival of Alfredo Arias to the bench of the Shark, the team seeks to reassemble with figures. However...
Is Cristian Barrios moving away from Junior?
Although several versions put the player on Junior's radar, at the express request of Alfredo Arias to strengthen the attack, journalist Diego Rueda reported that there would be "difficulties" to sign him.
Thus, the reporter adds, Junior would go for another option: Jhon Fredy Salazar, the right winger who has had a good season with Águilas Doradas and would be the chosen one to fulfill the wishes of coach Arias.

Report – Inter Milan & Iran Striker Turn Down Flamengo Approach, Plans To Stay In Europe
Inter Milan flop Mehdi Taremi could reportedly continue his career away from Europe, with Flamengo emerging as potential suitors. According to Gianluca Di Marzio via FCInterNews, the Iranian striker has become an option for the Brazilian powerhouse. Flamengo were inches away from signing Fiorentina outcast Lucas Beltran. However, the player has rejected the transfer, forcing Filipe Luis's side to expand their search for reinforcements. And the name of Mehdi Taremi has reportedly appeared in their notebook. Inter Milan Bust Mehdi Taremi Turns Down Flamengo Move MILAN, ITALY – DECEMBER 19: Mehdi Taremi of FC Internazionale looks on during the Coppa Italia, Round of 16 match between FC Internazionale and Udinese Calcio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on December 19, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) With Flamengo on the lookout for a new center-forward, Taremi has emerged as a low-cost solution. Indeed, Cristian Chivu has deemed the 33-year-old surplus to requirements. Therefore, Inter have put the ex-Porto star up for sale and are ready to let him go in a cut-price deal. Yet, like Beltran, Taremi may not be enthusiastic about swapping Europe for South America. Instead, the player has made it clear that his primary intention is to play in one of Europe's top-five leagues next season.

🎙️Russo: "We're under pressure to beat Racing"
Today, Miguel Ángel Russo attended a press conference ahead of the match against Racing and made it clear that it won't be easy. "For us, it's important to win and we know we'll be facing a tough opponent. We have to be prepared for everything. This is Boca. Nothing changes. We've been talking a lot individually and as a group. I think we're doing well and that's the most important thing. This is always Boca. You have the obligation to win. We have to be convinced of that and we're working towards it. I'm very happy with the group."On the other hand, he also talked about the recent interview his son, Ignacio Russo, gave about the rumor that his family disapproved of him being the coach of Boca, considering what that entails. "Leave my son alone. My son will talk about himself and Tigre. He's matured a lot and is doing well. Don't look for things that aren't there. He has a different mentality." Finally, he referred to the controversy that arose with Merentiel in the match against Huracán. "I spoke with everyone. Here, a world is made without knowing what a squad is and without knowing my management style and methods. (With Merentiel) there wasn't much to clarify."

Taremi joins Beltran in rejection of Flamengo transfer
According to Sky Sport Italia, it was not just Lucas Beltran who turned down a Flamengo transfer, but Inter striker Mehdi Taremi also rejected the move. As Football Italia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà already confirmed today, the pressure on Fiorentina striker Beltran proved futile, as he has no intention of leaving Europe for a return to South America so soon into this stage of his career. The Viola had accepted the proposal worth €15m plus add-ons, but the player was unimpressed with the destination. Taremi and Beltran unimpressed with Flamengo epa11945117 Fiorentina's Lucas Beltran celebrates scoring the 2-1 during the UEFA Conference League Round of 16, 1st leg soccer martch between Panathinaikos Athens and Fiorentina, at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, 06 March 2025. EPA-EFE/GEORGIA PANAGOPOULOU It now seems as if he was not the only one to have doubts over a future at Flamengo. Sky Sport Italia claim that the Brazilians made a similar proposal to Inter striker Taremi, but he too is waiting for other alternatives in Europe. The 33-year-old Iran international is not part of Inter's plans for this season, but has a contract to June 2027. There have also been links with Besiktas, Fulham, Botafogo, Leeds United and West Ham United, though nobody seems to have come close to a genuine agreement yet.
