🚨Official: Boca announce the arrival of Romero and Ascacibar | OneFootball

In a frenetic day for the Football Council, Boca Juniors sealed the arrival of two major signings for Claudio Úbeda’s squad. Santiago Ascacíbar and Ángel Romero completed their medical examinations this Tuesday, unleashing the excitement of fans who gathered at the clinic to welcome them. With these moves, the "Xeneize" aims to mitigate the injury crisis and strengthen a team that aspires to total prominence in 2026.

Ascacíbar and the Search for Midfield Solidity

The transfer of Santiago Ascacíbar was unlocked following the urgent need to cover for Rodrigo Battaglia, who suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon. Boca reached an agreement with Estudiantes de La Plata to purchase 80% of his rights for a sum close to 4 million dollars. The midfielder, who will sign for four years, arrives after an emotional farewell from the "Pincha," the club where he was captain. Coach Úbeda highlighted his personality and ability to immediately adapt to the high level of competition demanded by the institution.

Ángel Romero: The Bet for the Attack

For his part, Paraguayan Ángel Romero made his contract official until December 2026 after becoming a free agent from Corinthians. "I was surprised by Riquelme’s call," confessed the forward, who will seek redemption in Argentine football after his stint at San Lorenzo. Despite having an inconsistent end to the season in Brazil, Romero assured that he feels in optimal physical condition to debut at La Bombonera and help the team cope with the lack of attacking options.
