Boca can still strengthen as exits allow signing before 2 September | OneFootball

Boca retain scope to add to their squad despite the domestic window closing, with outgoing moves creating an exemption to register one new signing before 2 September. According to LaNumer12.com.ar, recent departures have opened both regulatory and roster space.

Promising forward Iker Zufiaurre will join Albión in Uruguay on a one-year loan with no purchase option. That deal enables Boca to recruit until the first days of September under Liga Profesional rules.

Marcelo Saracchi has left for Houston Dynamo in Major League Soccer. Boca sold their share of his rights for 1.3 million dollars and kept a 40 percent sell-on. His transfer does not extend the signing window but it frees an international slot.

Clubs may register up to six foreign players, with only five allowed on the teamsheet for each match. After Saracchi’s exit, Boca’s foreign group comprises Leandro Lozano, Sebastián Villa, Álvaro Montero, Ángel Romero and Carlos Palacios.

The staff led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena want a centre forward after Adam Bareiro’s injury. Adam Bareiro and Miguel Merentiel both hold Argentine citizenship, so neither counts towards the foreign quota. With a vacancy available, the coming hours will be decisive in securing the striker the club need for a semester that has only just begun.
