The 30-year-old Paredes has a clause in his Roma contract that allows him to leave the Serie A club for $3.5 million. "Now he must execute the clause," the Argentine club source told Reuters. A World Cup winner with Argentina, Paredes began his career at Boca in 2010, before his first stint with Roma in 2014. He also played for Empoli, Zenit St Petersburg, Paris St Germain and Juventus. Boca are planning a major overhaul following a disappointing season in which they crashed out in the preliminary round of the Copa Libertadores and failed to make it out of the group stage at the Club World Cup.

El Futbolero Ecuador dished out similar praise: "Nilson Angulo played a key role in Ecuador's attack, forming part of a system that sought to create danger on the wings and take advantage of the speed of its wingers. "During his time on the pitch, he attempted to break through on his own flank and link up with his teammates, finding space in the Brazilian defence." Celtic have had an initial bid for the 21-year-old rejected, according to Angulo played 39 times for Anderlecht last season, scoring two goals and assisting three across all competitions. He joined the Belgian outfit in 2022 from LDU Quito in his homeland.
