Boca Juniors Coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto confirmed they have “been in contact with Gigi Buffon” for a summer transfer.

The rumours have been circulating for a few weeks, as his Juventus contract expires in June and he hasn’t yet decided if he’ll retire at the age of 40.

Now Schelotto has admitted there is truth to it, or at the very least to the idea of a swansong in Argentina.

Boca Juniors have officially ended their pursuit of Gustavo Gomez after failing to agree a fee for the Milan defender.

Boca had been heavily linked with Gomez throughout the January transfer window, but the two sides were unable to settle on a price as the Argentines’ Coach was left to rue missing out on a player who would have “raised our level”.

“There’s a market value that can be agreed on,” Guillermo Barros Schelotto was quoted as saying by Gianluca Di Marzio’s website.

Milan and Boca Juniors are no closer to an agreement over defender Gustavo Gomez, according to the latest reports.

The Paraguay international has been given only one 10-minute appearance so far this season and is not part of their plans.

Boca are desperate to sign the centre-back, but the Rossoneri are refusing to release him for less than their asking price.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the latest meeting today ended in failure, as the two clubs are still a long way off an agreement.

Boca Juniors President Daniel Angelici confirms they are “getting closer” to a deal for Milan defender Gustavo Gomez.

The Rossoneri are refusing to let him go without guarantees of payment, but it’s reported they could agree on an 18-month loan with €5m obligation to buy.

“We are continuing to talk to Milan for Gomez and we’re getting closer to the right figure,” Angelici told TyC Sports in Argentina.

Boca Juniors are reportedly close to agreeing terms for Milan defender Gustavo Gomez, with a €5m buy-out at the end of 18 months.

The Rossoneri have so far refused to accept a loan as part of the deal, but seem to have reached a breakthrough.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Boca have improved their proposal to an 18-month loan with obligation to buy for €5m in the summer of 2019.

Paraguay international Gomez was given only 10 minutes of playing time this season in a Europa League match and is not in the club’s plans.

Boca Juniors President Daniel Angelici remains confident they can sign Gustavo Gomez, even after Milan declared he wouldn’t be joining them.

The defender has barely featured all season and is seeking a return to South America for the Xeneizes, but they’re only prepared to take him on loan.

Boca Juniors President Daniel Angelici confirms they have made an offer for Milan defender Gustavo Gomez and “await a response.”

The 24-year-old Paraguay international can play at centre-back, on the right or the left of the defence.

He was signed from Lanus in the summer of 2016 for €8.5m, but made very little impact and this season played only for 10 minutes in the Europa League.

Milan midfielder Jose Ernesto Sosa rejected Fenerbahce, but it’s now reported Boca Juniors have made an approach.

Sosa only arrived a year ago from Besiktas at a cost of €7.5m, but failed to make an impact at San Siro.

He was left out of their Europa League preliminary round win over Craiova because he is on the market along with Carlos Bacca and Gabriel Paletta.

According to Mediaset Premium, Sosa refused a €6m return to Turkey for Besiktas rivals Fenerbahce, but there is a new proposal on the horizon.

Although he had wanted a return to Boca Juniors, it’s reported Inter midfielder Gary Medel will sign for Mexican club Tigres tomorrow.

Medel is on the market, as he is not part of new Coach Luciano Spalletti’s plans for this season.

He was pushing for a Boca comeback, but Chilean newspaper El Mercurio claims a deal has been done with Tigres.

The player, who turns 29 next month, could undergo a medical and sign the contract over the next 24 hours.

Boca Juniors are due to present a formal offer to Inter for Gary Medel on Monday, as he’ll reject Trabzonspor.

Sky Sport Italia reported that Inter had accepted a proposal from Trabzonspor worth €5m, but he has no intention of accepting.

Medel wants a return to his old club Boca Juniors and that negotiation will begin in earnest on Monday.

It has to wait until after Chile have finished the Confederations Cup Final against Germany on Sunday.
