In recent days, Boca took the first formal step to sign Adam Bareiro, but the negotiation started with a setback. Xeneize submitted an offer of 3 million dollars for 100% of the transfer rights of the current Fortaleza forward, and in Brazil they considered it insufficient.
The blue-and-gold management is seeking to reinforce the attack in a tense context after the draw against Platense and the whistles at La Bombonera. In that scenario, Bareiro's name gained strength and concrete talks moved forward. However, according to journalist Germán García Grova, Fortaleza is demanding 2 million dollars for 50% of the rights, which forces Boca to improve its proposal if it wants to bring positions closer.

In the coming hours, a meeting will be held between the clubs to try to narrow the differences, although time is pressing, since the exceptional transfer window to sign players, granted after the serious injury to Rodrigo Battaglia, expires this Friday.
Meanwhile, Bareiro remains focused on his present. This weekend he scored a goal in Fortaleza's 2-0 win over Ferroviario in the first leg of the Cearense Championship semifinal. It was his fourth goal in eight matches so far this year. After pushing the ball into the net, he celebrated with the classic Topo Gigio gesture, which sparked speculation among Boca fans as a possible nod to Juan Román Riquelme.

When he was asked about the rumors, the forward was cautious. "My mind is here. Fortaleza trusted me and I'm grateful. If I'm going through a good moment, it's thanks to the club, the people, and my teammates," he stated. He added: "When the level is high, it's good that other teams pay attention, but that is handled between clubs and my agent."
With moderate optimism on both sides, the negotiation has entered a decisive stage. Boca will have to speed up procedures and adjust figures if it wants to add the Paraguayan scorer before the window closes and the chance vanishes.
