The 'Xeneize' could resume negotiations with the AS Roma midfielder for his return to the club ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

While the hiring of Miguel Ángel Russo is being decided, with the match against Atlético Tucumán in the 2025 Copa Argentina on the horizon, Boca Juniors are once again excited about the possible return of Leandro Paredes, who would be a luxury reinforcement for the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.

This Sunday, June 1st, a small transfer window opens for the Club World Cup and Boca have the chance to resume negotiations with 30-year-old Paredes, who has a clause at AS Roma allowing him to play for the club where he was born.

This clause would allow him to sign for Boca Juniors in exchange for 3.5 million dollars, an amount that Juan Román Riquelme could pay to unlock his departure and have him available for the debut against Benfica in Miami.

However, Paredes and Riquelme will have to reach an agreement on the contract, a significant issue that prevented his return to Boca from being finalized at the beginning of the year.

Leandro Paredes has a contract with AS Roma until mid-2026. After the departure of Claudio Ranieri, and the false rumors about Jürgen Klopp's arrival, the capital club is looking for a new coach. In the last two Serie A matches, Paredes started and scored a goal in each of these games (against AC Milan and Torino), which shows his great form.

Another important factor is that AS Roma finished sixth in Serie A and would be qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. However, if Inter defeat PSG in Munich this Saturday, Roma would enter the next edition of the UEFA Champions League.

"They are going to make a call to find out about his particular situation in Rome. He is a player who has the doors open and they want to see if they can reach an agreement," said journalist Leandro Aguilera on TyC Sports.
