Chiquito Romero set to seal move to Argentinos | OneFootball

The cycle of Chiquito Romero at Boca is numbered. The goalkeeper who was a standout figure in the 2023 Copa Libertadores now trains in silence, relegated to fourth place in the technical staff's consideration behind Agustín Marchesín, Leandro Brey, and Javier García. And although his contract expires in December, everything indicates that there could be an early exit.

Romero, who joined the club with the status of a World Cup player and European experience, was key on the road to the continental final. But his story with the Xeneize faded, especially after the Superclásico at La Bombonera, where he confronted fans who criticized his performance. That gesture ended up breaking the bond with the people, and since then, his presence in the goal has been sporadic.

Romero was close to other clubs, but he stayed at the club.

From the club's perspective, he is no longer seen as part of the project. They would even be willing to facilitate his early departure, as happened with Marcos Rojo months ago. The idea of a mutual termination is gaining strength, especially with the interest of a team that few expected.

El Bicho de La Paternal suffered the severe loss of Diego “Ruso” Rodríguez, who tore his cruciate ligaments and will be out for several months. In this situation, Argentinos Juniors activated their radar and set their sights on Romero. Initially, they considered Leandro Brey, but Boca deems him non-transferable. Thus, the name of the former Manchester United player gained prominence.

Chiquito could leave Boca in the coming hours.

According to this medium, there is already a preliminary agreement between Romero and Argentinos Juniors. The talks have progressed well, and if everything continues on course, the goalkeeper could change jerseys before the end of the year. All that remains is for Boca and the player to finalize the terms of the departure.

Everything seems to indicate yes. Quietly, without fanfare, but with the certainty that his cycle is closed. And while in La Paternal they await him with open arms, at Boca they are already working on his release.
