Report: Nicolas Burdisso to return to Boca Juniors

Veteran defender Nicolas Burdisso could reportedly return to his former club Boca Juniors in the January transfer window.

The 32-year-old, who currently plays for Roma in Serie A, had been expected to depart Italy on a free transfer next summer.

However, according to Il Sussidiario, that move could happen sooner with the Argentine outfit preparing to activate a release clause in his contract at the start of next year.

Burdisso joined Inter Milan from Boca in 2004, before moving to Serie A rivals Roma in 2009.
