The Uruguayan at the 2026 World Cup, linked with Boca | OneFootball

The 2026 World Cup is already in full swing, but the club from La Ribera is not slowing down in the transfer market and is already setting its sights on one of the stars of the Uruguay national team. Boca’s leadership has quietly started making moves to add international quality to the squad.

The news, which shook up the sports scene in recent hours, was revealed by Uruguayan journalist Sebastián Giovanelli on El Espectador Deportes. According to reports, the club is already well advanced in its efforts to secure the arrival of Rodrigo Aguirre, a striker who is currently playing in the World Cup under Marcelo Bielsa.

At 31, the Uruguayan forward is enjoying an outstanding spell at Tigres in Mexico, a level of form that not only earned him a call-up to his national team but also sparked immediate interest from Boca’s board. The search for a forward with leadership, international experience, and the ability to quickly adapt to the pressure of the Boca world has become an absolute priority for the coaching staff.

The Uruguayan player’s track record shows a highly respectable career in the Americas, standing out for his physical strength and versatility to play in different positions across the front line. His profile fits perfectly with the identity of the Uruguayan player who has historically succeeded in the Xeneize shirt, a factor the club’s leadership values greatly.

Boca will play during the 2026 World Cup

While waiting for reinforcements, the Xeneize will play its first official match of the semester while the top competition is still underway. Vasco Arruabarrena’s Boca will have to travel to Rosario to face Sarmiento de Junín in the Round of 32 of the Copa Argentina.

Boca prepares for the second half of the year, which will begin in the middle of the 2026 World Cup.

The organizers of the national tournament established that the match between the Xeneize and the Verdolaga will be played on Thursday, July 16, starting at 9:45 p.m. at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa stadium. It will be the first major test for the brand-new coach, who hopes to keep strengthening his squad.
