Velasco’s Potential Move to Boca Juniors
If Velasco comes to Boca Juniors it would really help their attack and shows how Argentine clubs are getting more players from MLS these days. Velasco started playing at Club Atlético Independiente before he went to FC Dallas in January 2022 where he became really important for the team. Even though he hurt his ACL in 2023 he came back strong in 2024 and showed how good he is.
