Boca players out of contract in December set to leave the club | OneFootball

Just over two months before the curtain falls on 2025, several Boca players whose contracts end in December are slowly starting to say goodbye. Although the list may extend depending on sales, loans, and other mechanisms in the future, there are five who will leave as free agents.

In this last month, two departures have been confirmed. Sergio Romero, who terminated his contract and headed to Argentinos Juniors, and Ignacio Miramón, whose loan from Lille is ending. Additionally, there are three other players whose contracts end at the end of the year. Below is the situation for each specific case.

Whose contracts are ending with Boca?

Javier García Frank Fabra Cristian Lema All have lost ground for a while. Both goalkeepers, due to age or physical issues, were not considered by Fernando Gago at the time, nor were they a priority for Miguel Ángel Russo, and the same is true with Claudio Úbeda.

In García's case, there are still no certainties about his future. Although there are rumors that he might end his professional career — even after his last one-year renewal — this is not confirmed. It is speculated that he could join the coaching staff as a goalkeeping coach. At 38 years old, and currently the third goalkeeper (he was a substitute against Rosario Central due to Marchesín's injury), the possibility of him "hanging up his gloves" is real.

As for Fabra, he had some opportunities (played 4 matches this year) with Russo, but recently he has only been waiting on the bench. Although he is the second option to Lautaro Blanco, especially after Marcelo Saracchi's departure, nearly 10 years after joining the club, both the player and the management believe his cycle is complete.

In his case, his departure is a result of a combination of situations and not just because the fans have 'crossed' him, especially the left-back, who is booed the few times he steps onto the field. What is the other unavoidable factor? The little playing time they have been getting.

Lema's situation has been concluded for a while. He trains alone, at a different time from the team after being sidelined by Boca's management, and since he couldn't arrange his release, with the market closed, he opted to stay until December. Once his contract ends, there is no doubt that his stage will be formally over.
