The player hasn't announced it yet, as the BIG clasico in Argentina is this weekend ... he doesn't want to pressure the coach to placing him in the game, as he is Boca's biggest idol in the past decade. This would be his last game at Boca.

But all looks like he will be going to OH. He deserves the playing time (at Boca he is a sub and rarely plays) and the $$ he will get. It is speculated he will be paid twice of what he has been earning at Boca ... if he stays in Argentina, Boca will renew him for a year but also reduce his wages by 1/3. Doing the simple math, he will be making 3x as much in OH than at Boca. And playing.

It's pretty cool to see good players moving up to the US. Even though they're not at their prime anymore, they're way above average.
Hope it gets the MLS some bigger exposure in the US, and the league can be more popular.
