The Uruguayan goal-poacher could return to Argentina with defending champions Boca Juniors.The agent of Santiago Silva, Pablo Betancourt, discarded any possibilities of the Uruguayan striker returning to Velez Sarsfield, opening the door for a future transfer to Argentine Apertura champions Boca Juniors.

"We spoke with Velez, we reunited with them, but they couldn't buy out his contract. Now we can negotiate with other teams," the agent explained to TyC Sports on Friday.Betancourt stated that if Boca want to purchase the striker first they would have to ask for the collaboration of the AFA so that the regulation would permit the Uruguayan to be eligible to play for three clubs in the space of a year."Knowing Boca, they won't have any problems. If they really want him, they will get him," affirmed the agent, who added "any player would like" to wear the Boca Juniors jersey.Meanwhile, Julio Cesar Falcioni, the coach of Boca, also referred to Silva on Friday, as well as the other possible strikers that could reinforce his squad for the upcoming 2012 Copa Libertadores and the Argentine Clausura championship."The president knows the interest we have for Silva. We know that it is very difficult, but there are legal possibilities to bring him here, and lawyers are working on this," Falcioni told ESPN Radio Rivadavia."Hopefully we can bring everyone, but whoever comes would be to my liking. But neither have I put a deadline for my number nine to arrive," he concluded.Santiago Silva has great possibilities of joining Boca Juniors this season, after a miserable spell in Fiorentina, where he has only scored a single goal since his arrival in August....
