UEFA Europa League
Boca Juniors has received a new offer from Fenerbahce led by José Mourinho for Cristian Medina, one of the most promising talents of the Argentine club, as reported by TyC Sports. The Turkish team, which had previously shown interest in the midfielder earlier this year, has reopened negotiations with the aim of adding the player starting from January 2025. This proposal includes 10 million dollars for the transfer plus an additional five million based on achievable objectives, as well as a 20% profit share in the event of a future sale.
Despite Fenerbahce's interest, Boca considers the offer insufficient. Previously, the Argentine club had requested 18 million net dollars for Medina, a price that the Turkish entity has not reached in its latest proposal. However, negotiations have just begun, and key meetings are expected in the coming days between the parties to bridge the gap. Juan Román Riquelme, in charge of sporting decisions at Boca, will lead the discussions.
Medina, a key player for Boca Juniors
Cristian Medina, 22 years old, has been a key figure in Boca's midfield since his debut in 2021, accumulating 160 matches and scoring nine goals. His ability to show up in crucial moments, like his goal in the Superclásico against River Plate, has cemented his role as a crucial piece in the team. Medina's release clause is set at 15 million dollars, but Boca is looking for a figure closer to 20 million to reach an agreement. Fenerbahce's intention is clear, and it will be essential for the negotiation process if they can enhance their initial offer and meet Boca Juniors' expectations.
