Boca's young gem Equi Fernandez moves to Saudi league

Another gem is on the verge of heading to Saudi football. The 22-year-old Equi Fernandez, a player who has grown up in Boca's youth academy since the age of 10 (2012). And the midfielder, according to 'Olé', deposited his release clause to end his link with the 'Xeneize'.

The amount that was stipulated was 15 million dollars, but the club of La Ribera, seeing that the Professional League took 30% of its development, asked for a higher figure and the player finally paid 20 million dollars (about 18.3 million euros).

Equi Fernandez was a player of the future for Boca and had a contract until 2028, but he has been released and is one step away from signing for Al Qadsiah, a team that has just signed several stars such as Nacho Fernandez and Aubameyang, among others...

The aforementioned source says that the Saudi side wanted to negotiate to make the deal cheaper, but the 'Xeneize' was very firm from the beginning. The midfielder, who recently finished his time at the Olympics, will travel to the city of Al Khobar in the coming days to define his arrival at what will be his new club.

Equi's three-year spell at the La Ribera club comes to an end with 67 appearances, in which he scored two goals and provided three assists.
