Boca agree Williams Alarcón exit, free up another signing spot | OneFootball

The transfer market at Boca continues to generate major developments in La Ribera following the confirmation of a formal proposal from Major League Soccer for Williams Alarcón. Atlanta United submitted a loan offer with no fee and a purchase option to secure the Chilean midfielder’s services, immediately opening up a new range of options for the blue and gold board.

The deal represents an economic dilemma for the Boquense side, considering the club paid a sum close to five million dollars at the start of 2025 to acquire him from Huracán. Over the course of his 34 official appearances in the Xeneize shirt, the player alternated flashes of quality with stretches of marked inconsistency that ultimately pushed him down in the overall pecking order.

This inconsistency on the pitch, combined with the instability caused by the constant coaching changes in recent times, prevented the midfielder from fully establishing himself at the heart of the team. Given the lack of guaranteed playing time, the offer from American soccer appears to be a viable way out for all parties involved.

A new slot for Boca

The move is part of the professional squad restructuring plan led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena. Since taking over on the bench, the coach has pushed through a major clear-out that included sidelining Marcelo Weigandt and Juan Barinaga, loaning out Agustín Martegani and Lucas Janson, selling Marcelo Saracchi, as well as terminating the contracts of Ander Herrera, Edinson Cavani, and Nicolás Orsini.

Riquelme and Delgado are still working in the market.

Although the transfer window has officially already closed in Argentine football, the regulations grant the club from La Ribera a benefit, which it already used to sign Enner Valencia. By completing a transfer abroad, the Boca board will obtain another extension to bring in a replacement until next September 2.
