The player set to join Boca after playing alongside Lionel Messi | OneFootball

After his loan spell at Inter Miami and becoming a champion alongside Lionel Messi, Marcelo Weigandt is preparing for his return to Boca Juniors. The right-back has completed his loan at the American club and is returning to the Xeneize.

After two seasons in Miami, Weigandt must return to Boca. He leaves with a title under his belt, having won the MLS just a few days ago, and after finishing his participation in the United States championship, he was bid farewell by the club.

Chelo Weigandt returns to Boca after his stint at Inter Miami.

The loan with Inter Miami officially ends on December 31, but it is already known that he will not continue wearing the pink jersey, and the club has even confirmed his departure. From January 2, he must report to Boca Predio to start the preseason with the Ribera team, unless an offer arrives for him before then and a new departure is decided.

It should be noted that Chelo Weigandt has a contract until the end of 2027 with the Xeneize, so if he is not considered by the coaching staff, they will have to find him a club for another loan or wait for an offer to buy his pass, something that has not yet happened for either Boca or Inter Miami, as a sale would benefit both clubs.

Weigandt shared the team with Messi.

Boca aims to strengthen 3 key positions

At the Xeneize, they have already started working on the transfer market, which will be very active due to more than 20 players returning from their loans, and decisions must be made about who stays to fight for a spot on the team and who will leave again.

Riquelme is looking for reinforcements.

But that's not all, as the squad needs to be reinforced with other players not currently on the team, and there are three positions that the management urgently wants to strengthen: a defender, a midfielder, and a forward. One for each line.
