The midfielder Leandro Paredes, from Rome, clarified his stance regarding a possible return to Boca Juniors. In a statement, Paredes emphasized that he has always been transparent and never hinted at an immediate return to the Argentine club. These words aimed to put an end to the uncertainty generated among Boca fans and the comments that arose from the management.
In recent months, despite having fueled the possibility of returning to Boca on more than one occasion, Paredes highlighted that in November he made clear his commitment to the contract he has with Roma, which he must respect. Despite these statements, his father published a photo with the Boca jersey in October, which increased speculation about a possible return of the player.
While Paredes mentioned that playing in a Club World Cup is always appealing, and that Boca attempted to negotiate his return at the beginning of the year for competitions like the Copa Libertadores, he has currently assured that he never gave signals that he would rejoin the "Xeneize" team in this transfer market.
These statements from Paredes have generated various reactions and have left the possibility of a return open in the future. Although his contract with Roma was recently extended until June 2026, making a short-term return difficult, Juan Román Riquelme, president of Boca, expressed that the doors of the club will always be open for him.
On the other hand, after the closure of the transfer market in Argentina, Paredes posted on his social media a message addressing issues of judgment and truth. Through his wife, he made his position clear with a strong statement that generated controversy among fans and the sports press.
