Player who is a terror at Palmeiras has a definition about the future and becomes a topic at Corinthians

Who doesn’t remember the glorious year of 2018… the season in which Corinthians won the Campeonato Paulista in the middle of Allianz Parque, and that a certain Argentine player ended Palmeiras’ dream in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores da América. Yes, himself: Darío Benedetto.

Speculated in Timão, the Argentine player could be released by his current club, Boca Juniors, even before the end of his contract – and could even sign a pre-contract with any other club, and leave the Argentine team for free, from July.

Benedetto: terror for some, good memories for others

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Darío Benedetto has a special place in the hearts of a large part of the Fiel fans. After all, in addition to being largely responsible for the elimination of the main black and white rival in the 2018 Libertadores – scoring both goals in the 2-0 victory at Bombonera, and also tying the duel at the black and white home -, the Argentine player has already faced Corinthians for the same competition.

And there, unlike what he did against Palmeiras, Benedetto didn’t find the net. Quite the opposite, in fact, missing a penalty in normal time and seeing Vítor Pereira’s Timão advance in the 2022 continental tournament. Since then, the player has been speculated at the Parque São Jorge club.

According to Jorge Nicola, on his YouTube channel, the player is among the highest paid in Argentine football, with a salary of around R$600,000. “33 years old and some injuries. Boca’s idea is to give up this contract and, if someone comes up with a proposal to keep Benedetto, Boca shouldn’t create too many obstacles”, said the journalist.
