Trio in battle for Banega
Monday 24 September, 2007
Italy’s giants are set to fight it out for Argentine midfield prodigy Ever Banega, according to sources in South America.
The 19-year-old is in his first season as a regular starter in the Primera Division, but is already being touted as a huge talent for the future.
Indeed, Boca President Mauricio Macri has claimed that he rebuffed a big-money offer from Milan before they swooped for Brazilian talent Alexandre Pato.
“There are lots of young stars in my squad that could be hunted,” he insisted.
“The most obvious one in Banega. He is like Gennaro Gattuso, but more technical. Milan offered £7m for him, but I didn’t accept.”
It has been suggested that Inter and Juventus are also keeping a close eye on the Boquita’s ace and may be ready to enter a bidding war when the January transfer window opens.
