Report: Boca release Osvaldo?

By Football Italia staff

Former Italy international Dani Osvaldo will reportedly be released by Boca Juniors after smoking in the locker room and taking nude selfies.

The troubled 30-year-old striker, who played his international football for Italy but was born and raised in Argentina, has had a troubled career littered with bad behaviour.

He famously punched Roma teammate Erik Lamela, headbutted Southampton teammate Jose Fonte and moved rapidly from club to club.

According to the latest reports in Argentina, Boca have decided to release him from his contract, which doesn’t expire until June 2017.

He left Porto for a return to Boca in February, but made only a handful of appearances.

Osvaldo left the pitch after a 1-1 Copa Libertadores draw with Nacional and went straight to the locker room, where he was reportedly caught smoking.

This comes just days after nude selfies of the player were leaked online.
