Boca Juniors wants it; will it be possible?

In recent days, a rumor has become strong and is slowly becoming a clamor: the arrival at the club on the riverbank of a former player and historical figure of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team.

In Argentina, we all know that Boca Juniors, one of the two most important clubs in local football, is not going through its best moment. To make matters worse, there is a great contrast with River Plate, its classic rival, who has managed to handle the last 10 years better, achieving some important achievements both nationally and internationally, including two Copa Libertadores de América, the most important trophy at club level on the continent.

While River won here and abroad, the Xeneize team has only won a few titles in local football, too few for a team that is first in the ranking of most international titles won on this side of the world.

And its bad times have also spilled over into local tournaments. The change of several technical directors in a short period of time demonstrates this, and these days, a new coach promises, once again, to reverse the situation. Fernando Gago, a former player who came through the club's youth ranks and had a good run at Real Madrid, Roma, Valencia, and the national team, has just taken over the coaching staff of Boca Juniors' first team.

And it is precisely because of his past at Real Madrid, where he played and won two leagues, a Copa del Rey, and a Spanish Super Cup alongside a young Sergio Ramos, that speculation arose about Boca Juniors' signing of the defender.

Sergio Ramos, an extraordinary 38-year-old footballer who was world champion in 2010, is currently without a team. Although he continues to train on his own, he has supposedly been tempted by his former teammate Fernando Gago to sign a contract and play for Boca Juniors in Argentina. Several European and Argentine media have published this news as true.

Boca fans have taken to social media and have invited Ramos to join the team starting next season. According to local media, more than 10,000 messages have been posted on Sergio Ramos' social media by Argentine fans to encourage him to come, just as Edinson Cavani did last year.

It will be a matter of waiting for the news to be confirmed and who better than Sergio Ramos himself to do so?

The truth is that there is a chance of seeing this great player dressed in the colors of one of the most important clubs in my country.

Perhaps that will happen, although in the meantime the new coach will have to establish a good relationship with the difficult and unpredictable Juan Román Riquelme, the club president with a tendency to interfere in the running of soccer.
