Ángel Romero joins Boca: medical and first training scheduled | OneFootball

Boca officially announced the arrival of Paraguayan forward Ángel Romero, who will become the club's first signing in this transfer window. The player will arrive in the country this Monday and will undergo a medical examination on Tuesday morning; if no issues arise, he will join the squad led by Claudio Úbeda in the afternoon.

Romero, 33, will sign a contract until December 2026, with an option to extend it for an additional year. The forward had become a free agent from Corinthians and had already been a target for the Xeneize in previous years, being highlighted by Juan Román Riquelme as “a great player.” It is worth noting that his brother Óscar Romero wore the Boca jersey between January 2022 and July 2023, playing 65 matches, with four goals and 14 assists.

The Paraguayan, who emerged from the youth ranks of Cerro Porteño, was a regular starter at Corinthians until mid-2025, although he lost continuity with the arrival of Dorival Júnior. During the last season, he played 74 matches, scored five goals, and provided three assists, with four goals in the Campeonato Paulista. Additionally, he ended his time at the São Paulo club with historic records for a foreign player: 67 goals in 377 appearances.

Due to the number of absences in Boca's attack, Ángel Romero could be a starter from his debut, provided the coaching staff considers him in optimal physical and footballing condition. Due to scheduling issues, it is unlikely that he will be included in the squad list to face Estudiantes this Wednesday, but he could be available for the match next Sunday against Newell’s for the third round of the Torneo Apertura.
