Boca Juniors showed interest in the young central defender Valentín Gómez to participate in the Club World Cup. Vélez reportedly requested Luis Advíncula and Exequiel Zeballos as part of the negotiation. However, Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Vélez's coach, denied any contact, stating that he hasn't spoken to any club officials or players about potential transfers.

Fernando Gago, the coach of Boca Juniors, has identified Valentín Gómez as a key player to strengthen the team's defense for the next season to conquer the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.

After the failed transfer to River, there were rumors that Boca Juniors was considering Gómez for the summer transfer window. However, the player's entourage hinted on social media that the offer might not be very appealing.

Months ago, it was reported that Boca would consider signing Valentín Gómez in the upcoming transfer window, but his environment suggested they would not accept the proposal. Gómez remains with Vélez, awaiting the January transfer window to see which clubs show interest in him.
