Days before the transfer market closes and the official competition begins with the Apertura Tournament, Boca reached an agreement with Bruno Valdez to terminate the contract that was ending at the end of the year.
The Xeneize management and the Paraguayan defender agreed to terminate the contract of the central defender who had been playing on loan at Cerro Porteño. The player still belonged to the club from La Ribera, but that will no longer be the case.
The player was training separately from the squad along with a group of players who returned from their respective loans but were not considered by Claudio Úbeda.

Valdez played at Cerro Porteño and returned to the club.
Thus, Bruno Valdez terminates his contract and will no longer belong to Boca. With this, the club gets rid of an important contract and frees up a foreign player spot to potentially bring in a reinforcement from abroad.
With this release, the foreign player quota is now made up of five players: Edinson Cavani, Carlos Palacios, Williams Alarcón, Ander Herrera, and Marcelo Saracchi, who is on loan at Celtic but must return mid-year.
The Xeneize has not yet been able to secure any new signings in this transfer market. With the arrival of Marino Hinestroza falling through, now San Lorenzo does not want to sell Alexis Cuello, and the offer made for him seems to be going nowhere.

Riquelme leads a difficult market.
So far, there have only been updates regarding departures. Along with Bruno Valdez's termination, Luis Advíncula's contract has also been terminated, and all the players who were not going to be considered have been sent out on loan.
