Amid memories and criticism, Ruso leaves Pincha | OneFootball

Santiago Ascacíbar, captain of Estudiantes and five-time champion with the club, became Boca's second signing in this transfer window. The deal was closed for around 4 million dollars for 80% of his transfer rights, with Brian Aguirre included on loan and a one-year agreement with a purchase option.

Estudiantes published a video on its official channels to bid farewell to the midfielder, highlighting his 196 matches, 18 goals, and the titles he won, accompanied by the song “Puente” by Gustavo Cerati. The club’s message emphasized his time at the institution and thanked him for his commitment during the two periods he spent in La Plata.

The fans’ reaction was divided. While some celebrated his career, others criticized his move to Boca, considering it a betrayal of his decision not to play for another Argentine club besides Estudiantes. After two initial offers that did not go through, Boca adjusted the proposal and managed to finalize the signing with the approval of both the player and the La Plata institution.
