With the objective of avoid conflicts, like those he had with Valentín Barco and is having with Marcelo Weigandt, the Football Council aims to ensure the continuity of several of its seedbed gems for as long as possible. In that direction, this Wednesday something that had been unofficially announced was confirmed: Ezequiel Equi Fernández extended his relationship with the Ribera club until December 2028.
The case is striking and exposes the need for this leadership to avoid headaches. Because the midfielder’s contract expired only at the end of 2025 and it is very unusual to extend the contract of a young footballer for so long, since this usually entails a considerable increase in his and her salary. his termination clause, which would be around US$15,000,000.
The reasons for this shielding are because in The Ezeiza property knows that the 21-year-old footballer is in the orbit of several European teams and that his exposure in the Under 23 team that will play the Olympic Games of Paris next July can enhance the arrival of concrete offers.
“I feel very happy for the contract renewal and for continuing in this club. Let’s go until 2028, for many joys and to continue being happy“Fernandez highlighted in a video released by the club. There, he highlighted: “What I remember most is the sacrifice, the will that I put into it since I was a child. Me and my family. Being able to play in the First Division for the club I love… I’m very happy.”
About playing for Boca, Equi acknowledged: “I fall when I talk to my family, to friends. If not, you don’t size the club where you are playing. I would never have imagined playing with great players like Edinson (Cavani), (Marcos) Rojo, Pipa (Benedetto). I have constant contact with them and they help me a lot in my growth.”
Regarding the fact of having Riquelme as president, he shared: “Román is an inspiration and an idol for my entire family. I remember when I was a kid, watching the Libertadores play. Having him now as president is very important. Sometimes you receive calls from Román and that’s what I say about sometimes I don’t fall for it. “I am very grateful to my family, my girlfriend and God for allowing me to live what I am living.”
In relation to Diego Martínez, the midfielder assessed: “Es a technician who is on top, accompanies us, helps us, makes us grow a lot. I think we are going to improve, he is doing things very well, he feels supported by the group. I had him in Tigre and I know how he works, I know what he is like as a person, his coaching staff. I know what he is enjoying and wants the best for the club.” Finally, he was happy for the news of Medina: “Cristian (Medina)’s present makes me very happy, we are friends when we were little. “It made me very happy that he scored the goal in the classic.”
Absent for a tear in the right hamstring that he suffered one day after the Superclásico against River, Equi is considered by coach Martínez as a key piece in the Xeneize midfield. “Come on, Equi!” The club wrote on its Twitter account to encourage his speedy recovery, along with a video of him doing ball work.
Although we have to see what its evolution is, its youth allows it to speed up times and the idea is for it to be available again soon. Even, There is a probable date of reappearance: it would be March 23, when Boca faces Central Norte de Salta, in the debut of both in the Argentine Cup.
