The Football Council agreed with the player to end the relationship six months before the agreement and thus free up a foreign quota. San Lorenzo is looking for him.
He came as a great reinforcement but he was diluted with the passing of the games and he could not shine with the Boca shirt. With the arrival of Jorge Almirón he lost more and more ground until in the last matches he no longer even entered the list of concentrates. Oscar Romero’s departure from the La Ribera club is a matter of hours.
Beyond the fact that he still has six months on his contract, the idea of the Football Council was to generate an agreement to terminate now and thus free up a quota of foreigners thinking of a possible arrival of Edinson Cavani. Well, this Tuesday afternoon the player accepted the economic offer of the leadership and will sign his departure in the next few hours. Meanwhile, the Paraguayan midfielder has already received a call from another big team in the country.
Ruben Darío Insua picked up the phone from Boedo and dialed Romero’s number, who was already at the Cyclone before wearing the Xeneize jersey. The San Lorenzo coach himself acknowledged the dialogue he had with the 31-year-old midfielder.
Ruben Insua acknowledged that he called Oscar Romero to return to San Lorenzo.
“When I read or heard that Romero was going to disassociate himself from Boca, I spoke to him, yes. I think he’s a great player. He’s very polite, very respectful. He told me that I had two or three chances, but that he really liked the idea of playing in San Lorenzo. He left a great memory here, people love him very much and I hope we could have him,” Gallego told a press conference.
And he added: “If he comes, he will find an ideal environment to develop all his talent and all his ability. He is a great player. I spoke with him and he told me what I just told you.” For now, only that conversation between DT and the footballer born in Paraguay took place. It will be necessary to see if the leadership of San Lorenzo advances to try to agree from the contractual.
Oscar played 65 games in total with the blue and gold jersey, with just 4 goals. And in the Cyclone he had scored 10 goals in 54 appearances. Although it is true that Romero left a good feeling in most of the Cuervo supporters, his departure, like that of his brother Ángel, was not good since internally they went through several turbulences with the rest of the squad between 2020 and 2021.

In addition, a payment agreement is maintained for the money owed as a result of his time at Boedo. Of course, the Guarani has other proposals on the table. One is that of Vasco Da Gama, whose brand new coach is Ramón Díaz. A trip abroad could weigh more for him, mainly due to the economic factor.
In turn, in San Lorenzo they maintain that they will not go beyond the budget. For example, Insua’s interest in Lucas Pratto hit the financial wall, since what the striker wanted was beyond what the blue and red leadership could pay.
El Gallego wants a game generator (among other positions) since he is about to lose Agustín Martegani, who is close to being sold to Racing. And Oscar Romero is the name that seduces him, although he had also tried something similar a few days ago with Brahian Alemán, from Banfield.

Romero will officially leave Boca this Wednesday, one semester in advance. Will San Lorenzo cross again at its destination?
