This Sunday, June 1st, a small transfer window opens for the Club World Cup and Boca have the chance to resume negotiations with 30-year-old Paredes, who has a clause at AS Roma allowing him to play for the club where he was born.

PAREDES Y SU VUELTA: QUÉ TIENE QUE PASAR PARA QUE SE CONCRETE AHORA🔵 El sueño del regreso del Leandro Paredes a Boca sigue vigente. Sin embargo, no es del todo sencillo. Atentos a lo que cuenta @EmilianoRaddi:🟡 Lo primero que hay que saber es que Boca ya puede ejecutar la… — Planeta Boca Juniors (@PlanetaBoca) May 28, 2025 However, Paredes and Riquelme will have to reach an agreement on the contract, a significant issue that prevented his return to Boca from being finalized at the beginning of the year. Leandro Paredes has a contract with AS Roma until mid-2026. After the departure of Claudio Ranieri, and the false rumors about Jürgen Klopp's arrival, the capital club is looking for a new coach. In the last two Serie A matches, Paredes started and scored a goal in each of these games (against AC Milan and Torino), which shows his great form. Another important factor is that AS Roma finished sixth in Serie A and would be qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. However, if Inter defeat PSG in Munich this Saturday, Roma would enter the next edition of the UEFA Champions League. "They are going to make a call to find out about his particular situation in Rome. He is a player who has the doors open and they want to see if they can reach an agreement," said journalist Leandro Aguilera on TyC Sports. 📸 Paolo Bruno - 2025 Getty Images

Russo will take the reins for his third stint with the Argentine giants, having previously coached the team in 2007 and 2020-2021, leading them to win four titles, including the Copa Libertadores. After leaving Boca, the experienced 69-year-old coach spent time at Rosario Central and most recently at San Lorenzo, with whom he suffered elimination from the Argentine league semi-finals on Sunday. "Miguel and I have come to an agreement. All he has to do now is officially sever his ties with San Lorenzo, which should be easy for him," the spokesman told Reuters, declining to offer further details. Russo will replace Fernando Gago, who was sacked last month after Boca lost the Argentine Superclasico against arch-rivals River Plate and had a poor run including getting knocked out of the Libertadores in the preliminary round. Boca start their Club World Cup campaign on June 16 in the United States, where they will compete in Group C against Bayern Munich, Benfica and Auckland City. (Report by Ramiro Scandolo.

This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Boca Juniors is racing against the clock to hire a new coach ahead of their participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World the tough elimination against Independiente in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Torneo Apertura of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol (LPF), the Boca Juniors squad has entered a week-long break to calm the waters amidst a football crisis that seems to have no end. According to ESPN Argentina journalist Augusto César, the 'Xeneize' players will return to work next Tuesday, May 27, to prepare for their upcoming commitments. Juan Román Riquelme and the Football Council are working against the clock to close the hiring of a new coach. They want someone with "experience" and a high profile. ¿VUELVE MIGUELO AL XENEIZE?@Augustocesar22 nos trae los candidatos a ser el nuevo DT de Boca. ¿Será alguno de estos tres nombres?📺 No te pierdas #ESPNF90 en vivo por #DisneyPlus — ESPN Argentina (@ESPNArgentina) May 21, 2025 "Given the timing, Gustavo Quintero, who is currently free in Europe, is waiting for Boca to define his future. I don't rule out Miguel Ángel Russo, who has a decisive match this weekend with San Lorenzo. They are not convinced that Gerardo Martino wants to coach. And 'Turco' Mohamed, who is currently employed, has lost ground in consideration," Augusto César reported. Mariano Herrón, who replaced Fernando Gago, is in charge of the squad with the match against Atlético Tucumán in the Copa Argentina on the horizon. However, the big date will be the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. "Boca Juniors needs a storm pilot today," said the ESPN journalist in his report. Riquelme's idea is to close the deal with the chosen coach this week so that he can lead the first practice next Tuesday, less than a month before the international competition. 📸 LUIS ROBAYO - AFP or licensors
