The Under-20 World Cup was to be his big showcase, but it turned out to be a disappointment for everyone, for Augustin Almendra and for Argentina as a whole . The Albiceleste was sent home from Mali and now he must lick his wounds while he, the young Boca Juniors midfielder, will have to figure out what his future will be, with his suitcase ready for new shores.
According to reports from Ol, in Argentina, Angelici’s club has for months dealt with Napoli to send the midfielder to Serie A and now it could even lower the claims: the opaque World Cup, even as a protagonist, has meant that the price of the card of Almendra lost all the international revenge that could be expected and sent the Argentine market emissaries into a tailspin.
The blue offer had already arrived several weeks ago: 22 million euros to secure the player and bring him immediately to Italy, overcoming and anticipating market competition. Burdisso, from Boca, hoped that the World Cup could help him justify the high claims but now he will have to surrender to the law of the field. Negotiations will continue in the coming days, but the time for the closing of the negotiation really seems to have arrived.
