The conflict originated after the departure of the player, who left the institution on bad terms after a prolonged internal conflict. The lawsuit filed by Xeneize responds to a loan granted in 2019 for the purchase of a home, an amount that was not returned at the time
of his departure.
After Justice had already been issued in favor of the club last November, Almendra's appeal did not change the scenario and now theobligation to reimburse the money with the accumulated interest has become firm.
Almendra will have to repay the money from the loan that Boca made plus interest
The passing of the wheel through Boca ended up being marked by extra-football conflicts. His situation worsened in 2022 after a confrontation with the then coach Sebastián Battaglia, which led to his removal from the professional squad.
Since then, it has not been taken into account again, not even during the cycles of Hugo Ibarra and Jorge Almirón, in the midst of a deteriorating relationship both with the management and with some teammates.
After being released in mid-2023, he continued his career in Racing, where he was a key player in winning the Copa Sudamericana and the Recopa Sudamericana, and, at the beginning of the year, he was sold to Necaxa in Mexico. However, his link with Boca is still in force at the judicial level, now with a final ruling that forces him to pay off the debt
