Boca speed up, await Paraguayan to seal first signing of year | OneFootball

Ángel Romero broke his silence about the possibility of becoming a reinforcement for Boca. After training on his own at the Conmebol facility in Paraguay, the forward was asked about his future and responded with a brief but telling phrase: “That’s what we’re working on.”

The 33-year-old attacker, who became a free agent after leaving Corinthians, also admitted that he still doesn’t know when he will travel to Buenos Aires, although Boca is expecting him over the weekend to sign his contract and make himself available to Claudio Úbeda.

Romero has been a long-time favorite of Juan Román Riquelme, and after the deal for Marino Hinestroza fell through, the management moved quickly to secure his signing. Although he is not at his best footballing moment, the Paraguayan will look to relaunch his career at Boca and stay competitive ahead of the 2026 World Cup with his national team.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, his arrival will be finalized in the coming hours, making him Boca’s first signing of 2026, in a context of offensive urgency due to the injuries of Cavani and Merentiel. Meanwhile, the club remains active in the market and is keeping negotiations open for other names to strengthen the attack.
