Boca on alert: Milton Giménez could be off to Paraguay | OneFootball

The Boca forward, Milton Giménez, received Paraguayan nationality, a process he had been managing in recent months thanks to his father's family roots. The process was expedited at the express request of Gustavo Alfaro, former Xeneize coach and current head coach of the Paraguay national team.

With this new scenario, the center forward could be called up by the Guarani national team in the next FIFA date in March. The possibility opens up an interesting prospect for the footballer, who could also have a chance to be included in the squad for the World Cup to be held in Mexico, the United States, and Canada in 2026.

Giménez had a 2025 with ups and downs in his performance.

Alfaro's decision is in line with his intention to broaden Paraguay's offensive options by adding a player with experience in Argentine football and international competitions. For the forward, the opportunity means not only representing a country with which he has family ties but also the chance to play in a World Cup, one of the greatest dreams of any footballer.

At Boca, the news was received with anticipation: although the call-up could reduce his presence in some matches, it is also seen as recognition of what the forward has achieved at the club. Despite having highs and lows, he managed to score important goals in the last season and contributed his scoring ability to the team in a position with much competition from Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani.

Milton Giménez will be present: Boca's friendlies

This duel will take place on Wednesday, January 14 at La Bombonera and will serve as preparation, but also to pay tribute to Miguel Ángel Russo.
