It’s official: Boca has announced the arrival of Santiago Ascacibar, who will become the club’s second signing of this transfer window. Xeneize is purchasing a large percentage of his rights from Estudiantes, and as part of the same deal, a player will join Estudiantes on loan.
The management team led by Juan Román Riquelme and the board with Marcelo Delgado at the helm have completed the signing of the summer: Santiago Ascacibar will join the club as a reinforcement for the next four seasons.
The negotiations between Boca and Estudiantes reached a successful conclusion quickly. Xeneize made two previous offers, and the third time was the charm. The final offer was for a sum close to 5 million dollars to acquire 80% of his rights. In the coming hours, Ascacibar will undergo a medical examination and then sign his contract until 2030.
The arrival of Ascacibar is without a doubt one of the most notable moves in this transfer window across all of Argentine football. Yes, Xeneize is making waves in the market with the arrival of the now former player and captain of Estudiantes de La Plata.
On the other hand, the Ribera team is not done yet and will continue negotiating to try to secure another signing to join Ascacibar and Ángel Romero. Rodrigo Battaglia’s injury will open up another spot for a new addition once the transfer window closes.
