Bentancur has recognised his own interest in the white team, although, he confirms that the transfer is still not closed and that he will still be playing for Boca. According to 'Marca', he said this when he already knew that he would not be going to Madrid.
Because, according to this source, the Madrid transfer was stopped by the order of Florentino Pérez. Why? He wanted to wait to see if it could be appealed by the FIFA sanction, which the Merengue club cannot sign until the summer of 2017.
In Argentina, they do not believe that this is the true reason for why Real Madrid have stopped the transfer, which will be cancelled this month (January), therefore the footballer will continue in Boca.
