Fernando Gago, who will be announced as the new coach of Boca Juniors in the coming hours, has already begun to outline the reinforcements he will seek for the Xeneize team. One of the names that is strongly rumored is Gonzalo Piovi, a defender from Cruz Azul, who was a key player for Gago during his time at Racing, as reported by TyC Sports with information from Mexican media. This potential signing arises amid preparations for the upcoming transfer market, with Gago pointing to Piovi as one of his main targets.

Piovi, who joined Cruz Azul at the beginning of the year for 2.5 million dollars, quickly established himself as an undisputed starter in the team led by Martín Anselmi. Since his arrival, he has only missed one match, highlighting his importance in the Mexican club's setup. However, his departure from La Máquina Cementera may not be straightforward, as his contract runs until December 2026, and Cruz Azul would not let him go for less than 4 million dollars.

Gago wants Piovi at Boca Juniors.

Gago's interest in Piovi is based on solid grounds. The defender, known for his versatility to play both as a center-back and left-back, was instrumental at Racing, even captaining the team on two occasions and being the top scorer in 2023. Moreover, he was a thorn in Boca's side in the International Supercup final, scoring the decisive goal that secured the title for La Academia.

While Piovi's name is buzzing in transfer rumors, his move to Boca is still uncertain as Gago has not been officially introduced as coach yet. However, the potential departure of Marcos Rojo and Aaron Anselmino's transfer to Chelsea could pave the way for a reinforcement in the Xeneize defense.
