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 rights, with Brian Aguirre included on loan and a one-year agreement with a purchase option.

Estudiantes released a video on its official channels to bid farewell to the midfielder, recalling his 196 matches, 18 goals, and the titles he won, accompanied by the song “Puente” by Gustavo Cerati. The club’s message highlighted 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 for his decision not to play for another Argentine club that wasn’t Estudiantes. After two initial offers that didn’t go through, Boca adjusted the proposal and managed to complete the signing with the approval of the player and the club from La Plata.
