Paredes hints again at Dybala to Boca: ‘It’s his dream and mine’ | OneFootball

On the eve of the start of the 2026 Copa Libertadores, Leandro Paredes gave an interview to the tournament’s official website, in which he touched on various topics, including the possibility of Paulo Dybala joining Boca. On the matter, the captain said: “For me it would be a dream, and for him too. Hopefully he can be here; he’s very excited about it.”

In this way, Paredes once again hinted at the possible arrival of La Joya, a long-held dream for the Xeneize, who are slowly working on his signing and hope to add him in June. It is worth noting that the current Roma player underwent surgery at the beginning of the month for an injury to his left knee. This issue will keep him sidelined until mid-April.

The saga involving the club from La Ribera and Dybala has been on the fans’ minds for months. In December, with the rumor already well established, Marcelo Delgado, the club’s sporting manager, said: “Hopefully we can make the effort, beyond whether the possibility exists.”

Without confirming any concrete interest, Chelo said that the possibility “will be evaluated,” knowing that the player’s contract runs until June 2026.

The former PSG player also spoke about Tomás Aranda, with whom he shared some training sessions at the Lionel Andrés Messi Training Center this week, as both were called up by the national team during this FIFA window, one for the senior team and the other for the U-20s.

“He’s one of the players who catches my attention the most because of the way he plays, his intent on the ball, and his quality. I hope I can keep helping him grow and that he can help us a great deal,” he said about the youngster.

The midfielder remains with Lionel Scaloni’s team, and he is expected to get some minutes in the friendly Argentina will play tonight against Zambia. If that happens, it would create a problem for the Xeneize, since they will face Talleres on Thursday, meaning Paredes will have only a few hours to rejoin the group, which he visited during his days off.

In addition, he is carrying four yellow cards, and if he gets one more, he could miss the clásico against Independiente. Otherwise, if he is booked against El Rojo, he will be ruled out of the Superclásico.
