Miguel Merentiel has become one of the most beloved players among Boca fans thanks to his commitment, his goals, and his identification with the club. However, the 29-year-old Uruguayan forward could make the leap to European soccer, since Sevilla, now managed by Matías Almeyda, wants to sign him.
According to various sources, the Andalusian club has already initiated contact with Xeneize, although negotiations won't be easy. Juan Román Riquelme isn't willing to let the striker go without receiving the 18 million dollars stipulated in his release clause. Merentiel, meanwhile, has already expressed internally his desire to move to Spain.
With a contract valid until December 31, 2027, the former Defensa y Justicia and Palmeiras striker was also previously monitored by Villarreal, according to journalist Martín Charquero. In addition, Zenit Saint Petersburg has also recently joined the list of interested clubs.
