After injury-hit spells in Qatar and talks with Serie A clubs, Verratti has discussed a Buenos Aires move with former PSG teammates Cavani, Herrera and Paredes. Riquelme has opened direct dialogue, even courting Verratti’s wife, as Boca target a veteran core to drive a new “Euro Boca” era.

Boca Juniors players Ander Herrera and Nicolás Figal have received four-match bans, while Benfica’s Andrea Belotti was suspended for two games following red cards in their Club World Cup group stage clash on Monday.
FIFA cited breaches of Article 14 involving unsporting behavior, particularly toward a match official. Herrera’s aggressive touchline conduct, Figal’s late tackle, and Belotti’s foul on Costa led to their dismissals. Boca must reach the semifinals for Herrera or Figal to return.
