The market is starting to move with a view to 2026 and at Boca they have already taken note of a possible source of conflict. In recent hours, Mexican media have reported that both América and Monterrey, two of the most powerful clubs in the country, are closely monitoring Miguel Merentiel, one of the most important pieces of the current Xeneize squad.
In light of this situation, the club from La Ribera keeps a clear stance: there are no non-transferable players, with the sole exception of Leandro Paredes. Merentiel has a valid contract for two more seasons and a release clause set at 18 million dollars. Although the initial idea is to keep him and only let him leave for that amount, an offer close to that figure would be seriously considered.
In that regard, both clubs, which are currently dealing with issues regarding the foreign-player quota, could move forward with concrete offers in the coming days. In parallel, people close to the forward have let it be known that the player is considering the possibility of a financial leap. Although his priority is still Boca, he also wants a salary increase.
