The 35-year-old midfielder ended an 18-year career with the club from his home village, Roma, at the end of last season.
"Having a world champion who says he wants to finish his career here in Boca fills me with pride," said Angelici.
"It would be good for Argentine football to have these kinds of players, it is 99% sure that De Rossi will be a Boca player."
The only stumbling block that remains to De Rossi 's membership is the limitation of the number of foreigners allowed in the Argentine teams.
They can only have six in their team, with a maximum of five permits at a time.
Boca already has Colombians Frank Fabra, Jorman Campuzano and Sebastian Villa, as well as Nahitan Nandez (Uruguay), Venezuelan Jan Carlos Hurtado and Junior Alonso (Paraguay), six foreigners in total.
"I do not stop his arrival, everything is in agreement with De Rossi, but if he joined him, people would start saying that Boca does not respect the quota," Angelici said. at TyC Sports.
According to rumors, Nandez would be a target of Cagliari in Italy while Fabra is about to obtain Argentine nationality.
"If we can complete the sale of Nandez, we could bring it (De Rossi) to train now."
De Rossi, winner of the World Cup with Italy in 2006, spent his entire senior career in Rome, making 615 appearances and scoring 63 goals in all competitions.
Only his compatriot, the Roma legend, Francesco Totti, has played more games for the club.
De Rossi is also the fourth most capped Italian international of all time with 117 appearances.
