Ángel Romero to Boca: when will the first signing arrive | OneFootball

The mystery is over in the Boca World: Juan Román Riquelme broke the silence and confirmed that Ángel Romero will be the first new face for Claudio Úbeda's team. The Paraguayan already has his bags packed to wear the Blue and Gold.

During an interview with the AZZ channel, the top official of the Ribera club provided details about the state of the negotiation. According to Riquelme, the arrival of the attacker is practically closed and only formalities remain to finalize his arrival.

Romero, 33, joins the institution with his transfer in hand after finishing his stint at Corinthians in Brazil. This free agent status expedited the talks for the experienced player to return to Argentina.

Ángel Romero will be the first reinforcement of this transfer window.

The agreement between the parties stipulates an initial contract for one season. The deal also includes a clause for a one-year extension, ensuring the Paraguayan's presence at the club in the medium term.

Regarding the timeline to see him in the blue and gold jersey, Riquelme was very precise about the date the player will land in the country. "Tomorrow, the day after, or Monday, hopefully we can have him with us," the president anticipated.

Currently, the legal departments of both parties are working against the clock to finalize the documentation. "The lawyers are already exchanging papers; everything indicates that it will happen," the Boca idol stated, exciting fans about having the first reinforcement.

With this signing, Claudio Úbeda's team adds international hierarchy and a significant offensive option for upcoming challenges. The Boca world hopes the official announcement will be made before the debut in the 2026 Apertura Tournament.

Ángel Romero yes, Serna and Cuello no

In the last few hours, Boca received two pieces of bad news: both Fluminense and San Lorenzo rejected the offers for Kevin Serna and Alexis Cuello, respectively. Neither player will join the club in this transfer window.

Riquelme has secured the arrival of only one reinforcement so far.

Fluminense decided to declare the winger non-transferable after the Xeneize management's offer of 5 million dollars. As for the Azulgrana forward, the board led by Sergio Constantino rejected the offer of 3 million dollars for 60% of his rights.
