We all know that outside of Boca, Martín Palermo has an affection for Estudiantes. It was the team that saw him become a goalscorer per excellence and become one of the most most sought after young strikers in Argentina in the mid-90's.

His statistics with Boca Juniors all more then documented, but on Tuesday he mentioned one thing that kind of through people for a loop as the 2009 Apertura is getting ready to start.

Palermo mentioned today that he was more than willing to be considered for the Estudiantes roster that wil be heading to Dubai in December for the World Club Cup despite still playing for Boca Juniors.

"We'll see what happens in December," said Palermo after practice on Tuesday. "Several things would have to happen, but it would be a wonderful thing."

If the option is viable, Estudiantes will go for it. In fact they did that during their run to the Copa Lib title when they signed Newell's Old Boys defender Rolando Schiavi for the semifinals and the two matches against Cruzeiro.The probability at this stage is not viable although they everyone will have to watch which players come in during the transfer period.
