Miguel Merentiel, forward for Boca Juniors, could be living his last months in Argentina if contacts with clubs in Spain bear fruit. The Uruguayan striker has caught the eye of two historic entities in national football: Sevilla and Villarreal. Both teams see his profile as an interesting option to bolster their attacking line for the upcoming season, although it won't be an easy operation for either side.
Miguel Merentiel could leave Boca Juniors
Aware of the interest surrounding their number 9, Boca Juniors refers to his release clause set at 15 million euros. This amount, deemed high by the Spanish clubs, poses the main obstacle to progress in negotiations. Boca is not willing to facilitate his departure below that amount, especially considering he has been a key player in crucial moments of the season.
Positive reports on the forward's performance have been made both in Nervión and La Cerámica. His ability to move intelligently in the box, his dedication in every contested ball, and his goal-scoring prowess make him a desirable profile in the current market. However, with tight salary limits and priorities in other positions, neither club is ready to pay an off-market figure without exploring alternative solutions first.
A change of scenery is not ruled out by the player's camp, but his departure hinges on whether any team is willing to meet Boca's demands. Currently, neither Sevilla nor Villarreal has presented a formal proposal, but they keep the Uruguayan on their list of potential reinforcements. The feeling is that only a significant sale or an economic restructuring would pave the way for his move to Spanish football.
